Trackpad Gestures on Macbook (Pro) – Why have I not been using some of these?!

I just saw an amazing thing over at Dan’s Tech-n-Stuff. I have been using the “secondary click” and “two-finger scrolling” features on my Macbook’s trackpad for some time now. I have always seen the other options for “dragging” and “drag lock”, but never really looked into what they do. So instead of typing it, let’s let Dan explain it (he did so well):

• Click and Drag: Drag an item by double-tapping your trackpad and dragging it without lifting your finger. “Clicking” and “Dragging” must both be enabled in System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse > Trackpad.
• Drag Lock: Works with Click and Drag, requires you to tap once on your trackpad to release a dragged item. “Clicking”, “Dragging” and “Drag Lock” must all be enabled in System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse > Trackpad.

I just activated this feature, and I must say it is amazing. Being able to rely completely on the trackpad is a really good thing, and this option makes that possible.
