My Favorite Things on macOS
Firefox - is a free and open-source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation using the Gecko rendering engine to display web pages. Since version 84 Firefox has had native support for Apple Silicon Macs with the M1 chip.
Magnet - de-clutters your screen by snapping windows into organized tiles by either dragging windows with your mouse or using keyboard shortcuts. Worth every penny.
Middle - a simple app that adds middle click functionality to your trackpad or magic mouse.
Clipy - a free and open source clip board manager. Highly customizable and a super lightweight.
Android File Transfer - not having built in Android support in macOS is a real pain. This app will allow you to browse and transfer files between your Mac computer and your Android device.
AppCleaner - a small application which allows you to thoroughly uninstall apps, their associated files, and hidden folders with a simple drag and drop interface.
IINA - a beautiful modern media player for macOS. Version 1.20 includes native support for Apple Silicon.
Amphetamine - a simple app that keeps your mac and displays from turning off/locking. Great for when you when you need to do work without interruptions.
Cog - a free and open source audio player. Plays every audio file you would want in a simple and well laid out interface. I miss foobar but this is the closet thing I've found on MacOS.
Pixea - a small, fast and Apple silicon optimized image viewer.
Pixelmator Pro - an image editor with an extensive collection
of tools for editing and retouching photos, creating graphic designs,
painting, drawing vector graphics, and adding effects. Supports Apple silicon and has excellent tutorials and manuals.

Customizing Touchpad Gestures on the Asus Zenbook UX305CA
Asus Smart Gesture software sends out Winkey + S to system, when executing a 3 finger click gesture. mMouse catches the input and sends a middle mouse click instead (WM_MBUTTONDOWN).
To add 3 finger back/forward swiping in Firefox you need to edit the Asus Smart Gesture TPProfile_Win10.xml file with this one line of code:
<ap name="firefox.exe" class_name="MozillaWindowClass" target_name="MozillaWindowClass" title_name="" target_type="3" support="33413" pan_filter_x="4" pan_filter_y="4" zoom_filter="1" pan_type="3" es_filter="4" es_type="3" zoom_type="6" rotate_type="0" swipe_type="3"/>Since it's a system file you're going to have to open notepad with admin privileges. Hit the start button and pull up Notepad. Instead of left clicking it, right click and select "Run as Administrator". Then select Open File (Ctrl+O) and navigate to the TPProfile_Win10.xml file.
It can be found under:
/C:/Program Files (x86)/ASUS/ASUS Smart Gesture/AsTPCenter/
Depending on your system settings you may have to set the open file dialog box to show all folder contents.
