CLICK AND DRAG ON MAC MAC

This feature works with a Magic Trackpad, 3D Touch Trackpad (the same thing as Force Touch), and standard multitouch trackpads built into any MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro. While you’re in that settings screen you may also want to adjust the scrolling speed of the trackpad, which is also in the Accessibility portion of Trackpad options.

Three finger drag is quite literal, meaning you hover the cursor over a window title bar and place three fingers on the trackpad surface and drag them around to move the window, no clicking or pressing down on the trackpad surface is required.

Close out of System Preferences as usual and try the feature out.

Check the box next to “Enable dragging” and pull down the menu alongside to select “three finger drag”, then click “OK” to set the preference.

Scroll down the list on the left side and select “Mouse & Trackpad”.

Choose the “Accessibility” preference panel.

Open “System Preferences” from the  Apple menu.

In OS X 10.10.x and OS X 10.11.x and newer you’ll find the option under Accessibility as follows:

Enabling Three Finger Drag on Mac Trackpads in OS X El Capitan Once residing in the normal Trackpad settings of System Preferences, the latest versions of OS X (El Yosemite and Capitan 10.11 and newer) has moved the dragging gesture settings for Trackpad elsewhere though, and so if you want to enable this feature or just try it out on your own Mac you’ll need to dig a little deeper than usual through the system settings.
