- For
- Mac users who close windows but leave apps running
- Worth noticing
- The three-finger gesture can be set to act as a middle click across apps, so it also affects links and tabs.
Field notes
The page gives separate mouse and trackpad instructions, then describes a Settings option for choosing the force-quit modifier key. It says the trackpad gesture can work as a middle click throughout macOS, including opening links in new tabs and closing tabs. The source is linked on GitHub under GPLv3; the maker says the app has no network code, accounts, or analytics.
