“If your Mac has a multitouch trackpad, there’s a simple but amazing tweak you can make that could revolutionize the way you use your computer,” Keir Thomas writes for Cult of Mac.

“Open System Preferences (Apple menu->System Preferences), click the Trackpad icon, make sure the Point & Click tab is selected, then put a check next to Three Finger Drag,” Thomas writes. “Doing so activates the best-kept secret for Macs with a trackpad. Ignore the simple description: ‘Move with three fingers.’ That’s the least of the productivity benefits this tweak can bring.”

Here are the rest:

• Coasting windows

• Copying files

• Downloading web images

• Moving windows

• Selecting text

• Selecting within a list
