Built-in preset
Tap the Mac preset
Two rows and no hardware: a double tap on the MacBook opens Mission Control, a triple tap starts dictation. Typing is ignored on purpose, and the preset runs with no controller connected.
Reads the Mac's built-in motion sensor. Taps under a third of a second apart count as one gesture, so tap-tap is a double and a pause starts over. Typing is ignored on purpose.
Where it is in the app
It ships inside InputConfig: open the sidebar and look in its folder, or search for it. Activate it, or press Edit to see every row. It is also here as a file, identical apart from being inactive and ungrouped, for anyone who deleted theirs or wants it on another Mac.
Every binding
| Input | Sends | Options | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Double tap the Mac | Mission Control | Double tap the Mac = Mission Control | |
| Triple tap the Mac | Start Dictation | Triple tap the Mac = Start Dictation |
2 rows. Button names are the Xbox / PlayStation pair the editor shows; a Switch Pro Controller fires by position. Options are the row settings that differ from the defaults.
Notes
Change either output to anything: a Siri Shortcut, a key, a macro. The Tap the Mac page covers where to knock and which Macs have the sensor.
