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…

    Yep, that’s a bizarre oversight. If you’re going to include a back button in your app, it should work consistently.

    I’ve also just realised that the BetterTouchTool method doesn’t translate over Universal Control. So my Mac mini’s trackpad can’t activate the BTT shortcut on my MacBook, and vice versa.
