Two Touchpad Shortcuts I Wish I Had Known Earlier

Getting my first MacBook opened my eyes to something I completely overlooked on my old Windows laptop — two-finger gestures!

1️⃣ Two-finger scroll – Instead of dragging the side scroll bar, you can simply slide two fingers up or down on the touchpad.
2️⃣ Two-finger pinch to zoom – Just like on a phone screen, you can pinch in or out to zoom on documents, browsers, or images.

These two simple shortcuts have completely changed how I use my laptop. In fact, they’ve made me stop missing my Samsung touchscreen — the touchpad feels just as intuitive now!
If you’re still unaware of these gestures (like I was 😅), take a few minutes to learn and practice them properly. Trust me, once you get used to it, your touchpad experience will feel fantastic — and you might even find using a mouse less appealing.
