Lunchpad 0.1.1-beta.4
Pre-release
Pre-release
Highlights
- New: close Lunchpad with a four-finger spread. The inverse of the pinch-to-open gesture — while Lunchpad is on screen, spread four fingers apart to dismiss it. A spread while Lunchpad is hidden is left to macOS and does not interfere with Show Desktop.
It is recognized through the same reserved trackpad gesture path as the opening pinch. Existing pinch-to-open, Show Desktop restoration, Escape, the global hot key, and click-to-dismiss are unchanged.
