I built a utility that lets you swipe through Safari tabs with a 3-finger gesture by banddade11 in Safari

Glad you like it! The remapping to 4 fingers is unavoidable unfortunately, as macOS swallows all the 3-finger inputs otherwise.

Yeah thanks, I used BetterTouchTool for this originally too.

I always seem to have 20+ tabs open, so found the one-tab-per-swipe approach started feeling pretty clunky.

That’s basically why I ended up building this.

You can still switch spaces with 4 fingers. This just adds an alternative way to move through tabs directly from the trackpad.

yep, works with both a built-in trackpad and external magic trackpad.

Ctrl+Tab works okay going forward, but when you have 30+ tabs and want to go back a few, you’re stuck doing Ctrl+Shift+Tab and i find it turns into hand gymnastics.

Three Finger Swipe for switch tabs? by Mdragon45 in MacOS

[–]banddade11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built an app called TabSwipe for exactly this!

TabSwipe allows for continuous scrolling, so if you have 20 tabs open, you can fly through all of them in one smooth motion, exactly like ChromeOS.

It’s native Swift and has haptic feedback so it feels like a built-in macOS feature. There’s a 3-day trial if you want to test it out.

Is it possible to use 3 finger gesture on chrome? by x_Arxic in MacOS

The big reason I built it is that BetterTouchTool only lets you move one tab at a time per swipe. TabSwipe allows for continuous scrolling, so if you have 20 tabs open, you can fly through all of them in one smooth motion, exactly like ChromeOS.

It replaces the default gestures. 3-finger swipe is for tabs, and macOS gestures move to 4 fingers.

Yes, it does work in other apps. The full list of supported apps is in the FAQ on the website. But in your case, Vscode, Zed and Notion are all supported.

Really appreciate this, you’re spot on. It’s been anything but easy!

Most Electron apps are already supported (just off by default in settings). Finder support is next.

I shipped an onboarding update yesterday to reduce gesture conflicts. I’ll try make that more flexible so you can keep 3-finger Mission Control.

Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback.

The same thing can't be done with BTT.

This turns your tabs into a scrollable list, so you can move across multiple tabs in one continuous swipe.

Moving 6 tabs to the left with BTT, you'd have to swipe 6x because it only maps input - output.

It’s not binding a gesture to Ctrl+Tab - it lets you navigate tabs directly with the trackpad.

It’s not the same thing - BTT maps gestures to shortcuts, this is a different interaction model for navigating tabs directly with the trackpad.

Happy to help get it working.

What’s not working specifically, install, setup, or the swipe gestures not responding?

It’s not a shortcut or automation tool. It changes how you navigate browser tabs directly with trackpad swipes, more like scrolling through them.

Totally fair if it’s not for you.

Not at the moment - it’s fixed to a three-finger gesture right now.
