Can anyone shed any light on why you can’t swipe back and forward in Finder with a trackpad? The option in Settings allows for two finger swipe between pages in eg. Safari, but that doesn’t extend to Finder, and I can’t work out why?
I’ve been able to activate it using BetterTouchTool, but it seems like a truly bizarre omission, considering how much Apple have optimised macOS for trackpad use.
I don’t know why I’ve never really thought about it before, but now I can’t stop…
You can use column view. It’s not exactly what you’re asking for but kinda similar.
Column view has pretty much become my default.
Has been mine since Mac OS X 10.2. It was one of the reasons I switched to a Mac in the first place.
