What is Trident?

A macOS menu-bar utility that remaps trackpad gestures:

Three-finger tap > middle click
Three-finger horizontal swipe > app switch — right = forward (Cmd+Tab), left = backward (Cmd+Shift+Tab)

A quick swipe switches to the adjacent app instantly; leaving your fingers resting keeps the app-switcher HUD up so you can scrub through several apps, then lift to commit.

Use one or both. Each gesture has its own on/off switch, and swipe sensitivity and palm rejection are adjustable.
