Bettertouchtool is basically the best app ever made, bar none. It’s a major reason why I’m a macOS user. It’s basically a shortcut maker using any peripheral or any trigger and works nearly flawlessly.
It’s incredible that some of the trackpad gestures are actually linear rather than clunky
What sort of things do you use BTT for? I use it too on my MacBook with Apple silicon. Although I view it as a consolation prize. Most everything I use it for I can do with a bash script + hotkey in Linux on my desktop.
Then again, maybe I'm just not creative enough. I understand BTT has a wide range of options to allow for complex shortcuts. But practically speaking, I don't know if I can use 95% of those options.
