Which is weird because I followed all the steps in the guide. However, I am getting No synaptics properties on device 'bcm5974'. Today we want to click on the “More Gestures” tab, then uncheck the box next to “Swipe between pages” to disable the aforementioned feature.I try to run syndaemon -i 2 -t -d to disable the trackpad while typing (detailed in ). On the System Preferences screen, click on Accessibility. Click on the Apple icon located in the top menu bar on your Mac and then click on System Preferences option in the drop-down menu.

There are quite a few ways to use and change the Trackpad’s behavior, and we provide a nice overview of them here. You can even use Trackpad gestures in the Finder’s preview pane. The feature to disable the Trackpad on your Mac while a Mouse is plugged-in is hidden in Apple’s Accessibility settings screen. To turn this off or change how this feature behaves, first open the System Preferences, then click on “Trackpad”.

The same is true for other browser such as Chrome and Firefox. Here on Safari, we can go back and forward with just a swipe of two fingers on the trackpad. However, if you’ve simply no time or patience for this, then the feature can be turned off in just a few clicks. Swiping to go back and forward does take some getting used to, and you need to be aware that this feature exists, or you’re likely to quickly become frustrated. For others, it happens accidentally more often than it happens on purpose, which can be annoying. If you use a Mac laptop to surf, you’ve probably noticed that lightly swiping two fingers left or right on the trackpad causes your web browser to go forward and back a page.
