How to Drag Windows on Your Mac Trackpad without Clicking Dragging windows using your Mac’s trackpad can be tedious: You need to click, hold, then drag. But thanks to a little-known accessibility feature, you can quickly drag windows using a three-finger gesture instead. Here’s how to set it up. How Three-Finger Drag Works Once it’s enabled, three-finger drag is easy to use. All you have to do is move the cursor to the toolbar and gently tap the trackpad with three fingers, and you’ll “grab” the window. Then, move all three fingers to move the window. Once the window reaches the desired place, simply lift one finger from the trackpad, and you’ll release the window. Use this method as often as you like.
