The Designer Mac Trackpad Layout

Designer puts the two things you reach for between edits within reach: a screenshot and the command palette. The top-left corner and a three-finger tap both capture, so a reference is never more than one gesture away.

What it does

The layout, exactly.

These are the regions and gestures the recipe sets. Apply it to a scene, then change anything in Canvas.

How to apply

Three steps.

01

Open TrackStudio

Launch the app and open the scene you want to change.

02

Open Recipes

Choose the book icon in the sidebar, then select Designer.

03

Apply and edit

Apply it to the scene. Change any trigger in Canvas; the recipe is a starting point.

Who it is for

Is this your layout?

Use Designer if you work in Figma, Sketch, Photoshop, or a browser and constantly capture references, compare colors, or jump between the canvas and a moodboard.

What to change

Make it yours.

If you present designs more than you capture them, use the Presenter recipe. If you use Figma full-screen, keep Mission Control in the bottom-right corner for the browser and the file window.

Questions

Before you apply it.

Where do screenshots go?

They use the macOS screenshot behavior. Check where your Mac saves screenshots in Screenshot settings.

Does it work in Figma?

Yes. Figma can have its own scene. Apply Designer to the Figma scene and keep a different layout for Safari.

Can I compare colors with it?

The recipe does not replace a color picker. It keeps brightness and screenshots close so you can compare on the same display.
