2. 启用滚动动画：勾选“动画滚动 (Animate Scrolling)”。
3. 选择动画效果：从下方下拉菜单中选择动画曲线（如 Bounce、Exponential 等）。
4. 配置智能自动滚动 (Smart Auto-Scroll)：
   • 勾选“启用智能自动滚动 (Enable Smart Auto-Scroll)”。
   • 在“按钮”选项卡中，将某个鼠标按键（如中键）的动作设置为“自动滚动 (Auto-Scroll)”即可激活此功能。

具体方法：

1. 点击左下角的“+”（加号）按钮，添加一个新的按键配置。
2. 在“按钮 (Button)”下拉菜单中，选择要配置的物理按键（如 Middle Button、Button 4 等）。
3. 在“修饰键 (Modifiers)”中，可选组合键（如 Command、Option）。
4. 在右侧的“动作 (Action)”列表中，为所选按键分配操作，例如：
   • 快捷键 (Shortcut)：模拟键盘快捷键。
   • 媒体控制 (Media)：播放/暂停、下一曲等。

3. 在“动作 (Action)”列表中，为该手势分配一个操作（与按钮操作列表类似）。
4. 点击“保存 (Save)”。
5. Use Gestures: In any application, hold down the right mouse button (activate key) and draw out the designated trajectory, to trigger the corresponding operation.

5. Export and Configuration Management

Smooze’s configuration is automatically saved. To back up or migrate, manually copy the configuration files in the following path:
~/Library/Application Support/Smooze/ directory.

Three, Advanced Techniques for Common Features

1. Application-Specific Configuration: In the “Buttons” or “Gestures” tab, click the configuration item in the bottom right corner to limit its scope to a specific application.
2. Refined Scroll Control: In the “Scroll” tab, enable “Continuous Animation” and adjust the “Acceleration” slider to achieve a similar inertia scrolling effect as a touchpad.
3. Customize Gesture Activation Key: The activation key for gestures (default is right mouse button) cannot be directly modified in the interface, but it can be indirectly achieved by setting another key (such as side button) action to “Start Gesture” in the “Buttons” tab.
4. Enhance Combination Keys: When configuring button actions, make good use of modifier keys to create multiple layers of operations for a physical key (for example, pressing the side button alone or Command+side button to trigger different functions).

Four, Common FAQs

Five, Smooze for Mac Shortcut Summary Table

Six, Real Usage Scenarios and Case Studies

Scenario One: Web Browsing and Document Reading

Many users complain about the harsh macOS native mouse scrolling experience. After installing Smooze, enabling “Animated Scrolling” in the “Scrolling” settings and selecting the “Bounce” curve makes scrolling smooth and natural. Combined with “Smart Automatic Scrolling”, simply clicking the middle mouse button anywhere on a webpage and moving up and down with the mouse allows you to control the page scrolling speed, greatly liberating your fingers.

Scenario Two: Designers’ Quick Operations

Designers frequently need to switch between tools and zoom the canvas in Photoshop or Sketch. By setting up “Buttons” in Smooze, the side mouse button can be mapped to “Command + Z” (undo) and “Command + Shift + Z” (redo). Then, create a downward swipe gesture to map to “Zoom to Appropriate Size”. This significantly improves efficiency.

Scenario Three: Programmers’ Multitasking

Programmers often need to switch between multiple terminal windows and code editors. By utilizing Smooze’s “Gesture” feature, set a right swipe gesture to “Command + Tab” (Application Switcher) and a left swipe gesture to “Command + ~” (Window Switch within the same application). This allows for window management without frequent keyboard touches, relying solely on the mouse.

Scenario Four: Efficient Control in Video Editing

In Final Cut Pro or Premiere Pro, scrolling and zooming on the timeline are crucial operations. By configuring holding the middle mouse button and moving up and down to “Timeline Zoom” and holding the middle mouse button and moving left and right to “Timeline Scroll” in Smooze, these custom actions are more intuitive and faster than the original shortcuts. This speeds up the editing rhythm.
