Trackpad & Mouse Tools

Every trackpad and mouse setting, one keystroke away. Switch right-click modes, set pointer speed and click mouse buttons from the keyboard – no System Settings, no logging out.

Commands

Command	What it does
Toggle Secondary Click	Two fingers ↔ corner (corner chosen in the command preferences)
Secondary Click with Two Fingers / in Bottom Right Corner / in Bottom Left Corner	Sets one mode directly
Toggle Tap to Click	Tap to click on or off
Toggle Natural Scrolling	Scroll direction on or off (macOS applies it to trackpad and mouse)
Toggle Three Finger Drag	Three finger drag on or off; swipes move to four fingers, like in macOS
Set Mouse Speed / Set Trackpad Speed	Pick a level from 1 to 10
Increase / Decrease Mouse Speed	One step faster or slower
Left Click / Right Click / Middle Click	Click at the pointer
Hold Left / Right / Middle Button	Keep a button pressed (see below)
Release Mouse Buttons	Lets go of every button this extension holds
Trackpad & Mouse Settings	Every option from System Settings in one searchable list

Give the commands you use most a hotkey: select the command in Raycast, press ⌘K → Configure Command.

Trackpad & Mouse Settings

The settings list shows every option from System Settings › Trackpad and Mouse, grouped like macOS:

• Point & Click: secondary click, tap to click, look up & data detectors, click pressure, tracking speed, force click
• Scroll & Zoom: natural scrolling, zoom in or out, smart zoom, rotate
• More Gestures: swipe between pages, full-screen apps, Mission Control, App Exposé, Notification Center, Show Desktop
• Mouse: tracking speed, scrolling speed, double-click speed, pointer acceleration, Magic Mouse secondary click
• Accessibility: dragging style – off, without drag lock, with drag lock, three finger drag

Toggle with ↵, pick options with ⌘K, reset everything to the macOS defaults with ⌘⇧⌫.

Holding a Button

Raycast knows when a hotkey is pressed, not when it is released, so each Hold command has a Release preference:

• After the Next Click (default) – the button goes up when you click once (a left hold waits for a right click)
• After a Few Seconds – after the number of seconds you set, 5 by default
• When I Run the Command Again – when you press the hotkey a second time

Running the command again always releases the button right away. Typical use: a hotkey on Hold Middle Button, pointer on a 3D model, press the hotkey, move to orbit, click once to let go.

How It Works

The extension writes the same preferences System Settings writes – for the built-in trackpad, the Magic Trackpad and the Magic Mouse – and asks macOS to reload them, so changes apply without logging out. Gestures handled by the Dock (Mission Control, App Exposé, Show Desktop) restart the Dock for a moment.

The click commands post mouse events through macOS' CoreGraphics, using the Accessibility permission Raycast already has. A hold that ends after the next click or after a few seconds starts a small osascript process that lets go of the button: it exits after the release click (at the latest after ten minutes) or after the chosen number of seconds. Running the hold command again or Release Mouse Buttons stops it right away. No helper app, no network requests.

System Settings reads its values when it opens, so close and reopen it to see a change there.
