Apple gestures…quietly revolutionary (I only use 3 out of 14)

#2I only use one: the two finger scroll. I started using it about a year before I owned any apple laptop (I think it was on a viao?) And it bugs the crap out of me that my lenovo doesn't use it.
The two-finger back-forth fills me with rage b/c of how often I have lost unsaved work on the Internet by accidentally going back one page.
Then again, I do the same thing with [backspace] on my windows box sometimes.

The worst is how "backspace" on a Google-Instant search page gives focus to the textbox and types a backspace rather than going Back in the history.

#4I started with two finger scroll on my pc and two finger right click, but it was not the same.
I got a mac a few weeks ago and I've been discovering these gestures and loving them. Common ones I use:
two finger right click
four finger swap fullscreen apps (lion)
two finger scroll
two finger back/forward (not a very common use case)
three finger text select
three finger window drag
three finger window resize
I disabled pinch zoom, hate it. Same with rotation.

One of my many gripes about Google-Instant!

I'm still getting used to the three fingers stuff. I feel like I'm learning to type all over again, start with one finger, then two...

Ya, the two finger is a change in OSX Lion. In Snow Leopard it was three fingers and opposite (swipe left to go back, right to go forward).
I'm still getting used to the change to two fingers and going right to go back..
