Code Iteratively » uncategorized http://iterat.ive.ly Hi there. I'm Christopher Gooley. I build technology. I like to share technology musings and products on this blog. I also like to ramble about non-technology topics. Besides coding, this is my main outlet for sharing and creativity.

Apple has changed the default behavior in OS X Lion to swipe between fullscreen apps. Which means suddenly when you’re trying to go back to the previous page, you end up looking at your dashboard or something dumb.

To get your two-finger swipe navigation back, just go into the Mouse preferences and over to the More Gestures section. Change the first option (Swipe between pages) to use two fingers.

This will disable the full-screen swiping and get you back up and running. Doing the same thing on your laptop should work as well, except you’ll pick three-finger swiping instead of two.

Enjoy.
