Grasshopper and Magic Mouse

Contrary to most people I meet, I am a Magic Mouse fan. I never had any wrist pain, and I love the 2D touch scroll. Having said that, the mouse comes with some incompatibilities with graphical software packages, namely Blender and Rhino Grasshopper. This post is about the latter.

To make the Grasshopper canvas Zoom In and Out instead of scrolling Up and Down and Sideways, you need to change a line in grasshopper_kernel.xml, which you can find in Settings Folder (fig. 1). Once editing the file, change

<item name="Canvas:TrackpadGestures" type_name="gh_bool" type_code="1">true</item>

into

<item name="Canvas:TrackpadGestures" type_name="gh_bool" type_code="1">false</item>
Fig.1 – Choose this menu item to find and edit grasshopper_kernel.xml
