Set Up Trackpad Gesture

BuhoLaunchpad allows you to open or dismiss your app launcher instantly using intuitive 4-finger/5-finger trackpad gestures. This feature puts your apps literally at your fingertips, enhancing workflow efficiency and providing a smooth, native-like experience.

1. Open BuhoLaunchpad’s Settings > General > navigate to the Trackpad Gesture section.

2. From the dropdown box, choose Four-Finger pinch or Five-Finger pinch.

3. Click Open System Settings to grant Accessibility.

Click Open System Settings when you see the confirmation window:

4. By clicking Open System Settings, you'll be directed to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility.

Find BuhoLaunchpadServer in the list, Turn it ON. There is no need to manually add BuhoLaunchPad.app to the list. The required item is BuhoLaunchpadServer.

5. Quit BuhoLaunchpad and reopen it.

Why 4-finger Pinch Not Working:

The 4-finger pinch may cause conflict with your macOS default settings, such as triggering Apps/Spotlight. To ensure BuhoLaunchpad responds to your 4-finger pinch gestures smoothly, please follow these steps:

1. Go to System Settings > Trackpad > More Gestures and turn off Show Desktop.

2. Important: remember to relaunch BuhoLaunchpad from the setting menu.
