Trackpad Gesture Help!

[felixen]

Yo! On my old MacBook Air I could hover the mouse over a file, tab and hold with 3 fingers on that file, and then move all 3 fingers across the trackpad to drag the file. On my new MacBook Pro, I cannot find out how to set this up. I can only drag files/windows by clicking + holding, which I don't like as much. Just tapping + holding with 3 fingers seemed easier to me.

Does anyone know how I can set that up again? I don't see it anywhere in the trackpad settings

I hate this too. Now it's a 1 finger hold and drag instead of three. I've gotten used to it now.

So it's a MacOS change? I remember way back I found this program that could add new gestures. I wonder if something like that would make it possible to get this gesture back
