Atlas007 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 In the Event List editor, it is possible to mouse drag to the left (or use a left swipe on a magic mouse or track pad) to delete or show a delete red button to the right of that event. However, that feature has a life of its own and sometimes, just hovering the mouse pointer over an event triggers it. Very annoying and nerve-wracking over time as it happens very often periodically Thus, as the title indicates, I am looking for a way to turn that feature off. Any idea or suggestions would be greatly appreciated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I too hate it, but I haven't yet found a way to disable it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 It appears there's no way to turn that behavior off unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Thanx guys for your replies! I'll then post a feature request on the official Logic feedback website. May invite others concerned about it to do the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 If you're accidentally triggering this, by what input method are you using? Regular mouse, magic mouse, track pad, other? I use a regular mouse (and MBP track pad), and can honestly say I've never accidentally triggered a swipe delete gesture - maybe it's more prevalent with other input methods? (And if it's the Magic Mouse, then all bets are off - it's a horrible mouse, and I hate that thing! ) In fact with a regular mouse, you *can't* activate that gesture, as anything you click on is a value field which just alters the value anyway. I have to double-finger swipe left on the trackpad to delete that way, which is not a gesture I can accidentally trigger under normal use.

fuzzfilth Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I'm using a Magic Mouse which for some reason I actually quite like, but for me the problem is most prevalent with the trackpad of the MacbookPro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 for me the problem is most prevalent with the trackpad of the MacbookPro. How do you trigger a swipe-delete gesture - for me, it's a two-finger drag to the left, which never gets in the way because I'm rarely using two-fingers on the track pad for anything. Are you maybe using a two-finger scroll up/down, but then going sideways in the course of that action and triggering a swipe-delete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Pretty much , yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Yes, I can see how that would be annoying. Also, a swipe left on an unselected event also *selects it* (and also plays it if MIDI out is turned on) - I can see why this happens but I also think is a bit weird...

Atlas007 Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 I tried adjusting (enabling/disabling combinations) the magic mouse 2's and the magic trackpad's various swiping options to no avail. Using my old Apple mighty mouse prevents the sliding delete phenomenon, but man, that mouse is so clunky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facej Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 OMM the "swipe to delete" only happens on things in "the list" where the "thing in the list" can be edited with keystrokes. Events, and Tempos can be swiped away. Markers try really hard, but no, and Signatures just no. I haven't used my Magic Mouse 2 (I really liked it) since I got the iMac 2 years ago. I don't have the issue on my trackpads, iMac, or MacBook Air. It certainly is a bit faster to swipe as opposed to 2-finger tap and choose delete. Now I will be testing "swipe to delete or do something else unexpected" throughout the modern interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
