    You can easily eliminate the physical click on the Mac trackpad from your life, and replace it with two features: the “Three-finger swipe” and the “Tap to click”. Check out the steps given below to enable three-finger drag on the Mac trackpad.

    Using Tap to click

    Tap to Click is a feature that allows you to click or select a file with a light tap of your fingertip on the trackpad. It is enabled like this:

    • Open System Preferences > Trackpad
    • In the Point and Click section, turn on Tap to click.

    Using Three finger swipe

    Three-finger drag lets you drag files, folders, and documents using a three-finger gesture. It is supported by all Macs with a Force Touch trackpad and can be enabled by following the steps given below:

    • Open System Preferences and click Accessibility.
    • Select MouseKeys in the sidebar. (In earlier versions of macOS, select Mouse & Trackpad.)
    • Click the Trackpad Options button.
    • Select “Enable dragging”, then choose three-finger drag from the menu.
    • Click OK.
    • Finally, now try dragging and dropping a file by placing three fingers on the trackpad and moving them left or right. That’s all.
