You can do a lot on your iMac using simple trackpad gestures—scroll through webpages, zoom in on documents, rotate photos, and more. With the Force Touch trackpad, pressure-sensing capabilities add another level of interactivity. The trackpad provides feedback—when you drag or rotate objects, you feel a subtle vibration when they’re aligned, allowing you to work with greater precision. For examples of force click options, see the Apple Support article
Force click: Click and then press deeper. You can use force click to look up more information—click a word to see its definition, or an address to see a preview that you can open in Maps.
Swipe to navigate: Swipe left or right with two fingers to flip through webpages, documents, and more—like turning a page in a book.

Tip: If you’re force clicking when you don’t intend to, try adjusting the click pressure to a firmer setting in Trackpad settings. Or click the pop-up menu next to “Look up & data detectors” and choose “Tap with Three Fingers.”
