Is there a way to have "shortcuts" on your trackpad? Like, on previous laptop's I've owned, you could assign different "areas" (like the corner) of the trackpad to different tasks (like the "back" button). Got used to it and now it's not there

Macs do not have any shortcuts for the trackpad. There was a program out a while ago called SideTrack but it doesn't look like it's been updated since last year. The creator gives a warning about the software not working on MacBook models after November 2006. If you ave an older MB then you should try it (the app itself gets rave reviews), if your MB is newer then you are out of luck for now.

Edit: I emailed the creator and am awaiting a reply on the status of a new release.

Edit again: I spoke with the creator and he said the newest version should be on the website next week!
