Trigger Conditions

Starting with BTT 3.860, every trigger does have advanced trigger conditions. If a trigger is triggered, BTT will evaluate these conditions and only if they are fulfilled it will execute the trigger's assigned actions.

Example: Use one gesture for all your window snapping needs

This example makes use of the "percent_x_hovered_win_btm_left / percent_y_hovered_win_btm_left" variable to execute different actions depending on the location of the mouse in the hovered window:

Another example: use the number of fingers touching the trackpad to execute different functionality: https://community.folivora.ai/t/use-number-of-fingers-touching-the-trackpad-as-modifier-for-keyboard-shortcuts/28272
