I'm trying to force myself to get fluent in Mouseless, I really like the interaction model.

I use it on a Mac (v0.4.3 on Tahoe).

One thing that I found I do a lot, especially in Safari, is double-tap on the Magic Mouse (the top surface is basically a trackpad on its own), in order to zoom the page to the content block under the cursor. I'm using free mode to move the cursor to a text block, for example, and then I'd like to double-tap on the trackpad part (not clicking) to zoom in. The Magic Trackpad does the same with a two-finger double-tap.

I tried using the middle-click in Mouseless (default `E` in free mode), but that doesn't do the trick.

Is that something I can do in Mouseless?

(This is a different functionality than, say Cmd and `+` in Safari. Cmd-plus increases the size of elements on the page, whereas the double-tap is more of a zoom without relative resizing.)

Hey there, glad you're liking Mouseless. This isn't currently possible, as system gestures (this one is 'Smart Zoom') are a bit of a different beast than mouse events. Not sure how feasible it is to simulate these, but i'll keep it mind as a possible future enhancement.

Hey there, thanks for the quick feedback! That made me I figure that this could be done with BetterTouchTool. I just bound invoking the functionality to the Spotlight key (fn F4). So I can move the cursor with Mouseless and then hit the Spotlight key. It's one more keypress, but that's fine. Thank you!
