Set the trackpad on the Macbook

You can find many different configuration options for your trackpad in the system settings in MacOs. In addition to gestures, you can set up a classic right-click if necessary. The pointer movement can also be adjusted here.

• Open the system settings in the dock of your Macbook desktop. Then select the "Trackpad" menu item under Hardware.
• Now the trackpad menu appears (see picture). Here you now have the opportunity to adapt the trackpad to your own needs. The categories are divided into click functions, scroll & zoom and other gestures.
• When you move your mouse pointer over the various fields, a video appears on the right. Here the gesture or click movement is illustrated.
• If you want to activate a function, simply tick the box. By clicking on the arrow symbol, further options will be shown in some fields.
