| Three finger gestures are awesome in Xcode, but they disappeared in Lion :( | |
| You can bring them back to life however... | |
| Inspired by a post from @gordonhughes (http://geeksinkilts.com/?p=67), explaining how to bring them back on an external trackpad, I started digging around for a way to get it working on the internal trackpads for the mbp/mba models. | |
| *edit* | |
| Perhaps an easier way of doing this found by @gordonhughes again is just this 1 line in Terminal, haven't confirmed this yet though | |
| defaults -currentHost write -g "com.apple.trackpad.threeFingerVertSwipeGesture" -int 1 | |
| *** | |
| In Terminal: | |
| 1. cd /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/ByHost // replace with username | |
| 2. ls -lah // will list files, you're looking for a hidden a file name something like this unique string .GlobalPreferences.XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.plist | |
| 3. open -a /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app ".GlobalPreferences.XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.plist" // replace filename with your file | |
| 4. this will open the plist editor in Xcode, set value to 1 for the key "com.apple.trackpad.threeFingerVertSwipeGesture" | |
| 5. Check there are no gesture clashes in System Preferences | |
| 6. Restart the machine | |
| 7. Enjoy |

I can confirm the one line terminal command works (along with a restart of the machine). Thanks!
