Consider this article the introduction, and we’ll get down and dirty with the tool starting next week. This is the start of a series, where I will document many of the things I’ve discovered and found useful about BTT. The forums, the documentation, and the app itself, and let me be the first to tell you: this app is tremendously powerful. It doesn't matter how much change we’re talking about: I tend to focus on what I consider the "real" work while ignoring simple ways in which I could make my work/life easier.īut that changes today! I have spent the last couple of months digging into BetterTouchTool. Like a child playing in the mud a few feet from a beach, I tend to try to make the most of my current situation, rather than trying to change it. I’ve always been this way: I willingly power through difficult work to prove I can, without any thought towards how I could improve the process.

But honestly I am terrible at working to improve my working conditions. I've always been aware that BTT can do far more than these simple shortcuts. 63,000 tab switches in one year!) There must be more # It may not seem like much, but those four shortcuts alone have apparently done me a lot of good over the years: That is all I’ve done with BTT in nearly a decade. I use my mouse quite a bit-more than I should-so I needed a way to switch tabs while using a mouse or a trackpad.

In both my web browser and my code editor, I consistently have more than a dozen tabs open, and I switch between them frequently. After all, I have used BTT for nearly a decade, and yet I’ve only used it for one thing: switching tabs. That is certainly one of its strengths, but also perhaps a weakness. It really does stay out of your way, and even if you use it every day, you can easily forget about it. In a word I would call BTT "polite software".

(If only all software could be so discrete cough Adobe cough) Ever since my first Mac purchase, BTT has loyally sat on my computer, hiding in the background, only showing its face when asked and wanted. A good friend of mine started using a Mac long before I did, and he introduced me to the wonders of BTT. BetterTouchTool is likely the first Mac productivity app I ever downloaded.
