What are known issues in OS X Mountain Lion?

Some gesture interferes with App Exposé
Workaround: You must either disable App Exposé or change it from "Swipe down with three fingers" to "Swipe down with four fingers". (Open System Prefereces -> Trackpad. Go to More Gestures tab. Change the option under "App Exposé" from "Swipe down with three fingers" to "Swipe down with four fingers").

Why are Character Gestures not working?

This feature is disabled by default. To use this feature
1. Open the System Preferences -> Jitouch
2. Under the Characters tab, check "Trackpad" or "Mouse."

For Trackpad, simply draw with your Index and Ring fingers (or separated Index-Middle) on the Trackpad.

For Magic Mouse, drag your mouse while you click on the right half of the mouse with Index and Middle fingers.

Some gestures don't work

Please make sure that the Accessibility API is enabled by
1. Open the System Preferences -> Accessibility (or System Preferences -> Universal Access on OS X Snow Leopard)

2. Check "Enable access for assistive devices" at the bottom

3. Restart jitouch

How can I overide the default gestures?

1. Open the System Preferences -> Jitouch
2. Go to "Trackpad" or "Magic Mouse" tabs
3. Double click at the gesture you want to set, then set it, and click "Save"

Index-To-Pinky gesture doesn't work very well

Be sure to put all your 4 fingers on the Trackpad before releasing any one of them and you can perform this gesture very slowly.

Drawing with Index and Ring is awkward. Are there other options?

You may find the combination of Index and Ring a little bit awkward at first, but please spend a few hours to practice. Most people get used to it pretty quickly. However, jitouch also offers an option to draw with one finger which can be enabled by
1. Open the System Preferences -> Jitouch
2. Under the Characters tab, click the "Settings..." button
3. Check "Enable One-Finger Drawing" and click "Done"

Will jitouch work on my Mac/MacBook?

For Trackpad, if your MacBook was purchased after 2008, chances are it will work. However, the best way to determine is to try it.
For Magic Mouse, jitouch works with any Mac that supports Magic Mouse.
For Magic Trackpad, jitouch works with any Mac that supports Magic Trackpad.

How to uninstall?

1. Click at jitouch's icon on the menu bar and quit
2. Open the System Preferences, right click (or ctrl+click) at jitouch's icon and click Remove
