7 Hidden Trackpad Gestures Every Laptop User Should Know

Two-Finger Scroll: Scroll pages up/down using two fingers instead of dragging the bar like it’s 2010. Smooth, fast, effortless.

Pinch Zoom: Pinch in/out with 2 fingers to zoom photos, maps, or docs instantly. Works better than hunting for zoom buttons.

Four-Finger Slide: Swipe with 4 fingers to switch virtual desktops if enabled. Like having multiple laptops inside one.

Tap, Don’t Click: Enable Tap to Click and just tap the pad to select. Your battery and finger joints will thank you.
