Mac app trackpad scenes.
Fifteen built-in scenes, one default, and the exact actions each one changes. No guessing which app gets which layout.
A scene is the layout TrackStudio uses when a specific app comes to the front. The app already ships with fifteen of them. This is the full list, the bundle it binds to, and the page that shows the mapping.
If an app is not listed, it gets the Default scene. That is not a failure; it is the fallback that keeps the trackpad predictable.

How scenes switch
TrackStudio reads the frontmost app's bundle identifier and selects the matching scene. If there is no match, it uses Default. You can edit any scene in Canvas; the built-in mapping is a starting point, not a lock.
What a scene cannot do
- It cannot add actions the app does not expose. The action list is finite.
- It cannot override a system gesture that macOS claims before the app sees it.
- It cannot change an app's own keyboard shortcuts; it sends the same actions the app already understands.

Do I need a scene for every app?
No. The Default scene covers every app without a match. Add a scene only when an app needs different actions.
Can I create a scene for an app not on the list?
Yes. Add the app in the Scenes view and give it a layout. The built-in list is the starting set.
Does a scene change the app's own gestures?
No. It adds TrackStudio actions on the regions you choose. The app keeps its own trackpad and keyboard behaviour.
