Finally figured out what this mystery feature is called!
I see pictures of the preferences panel with a checkbox option which I can't get to appear here. I read that if the option doesn't appear, that means the trackpad is not compatible with the feature. Well... All the more reason to want to disable the feature! Right?!
I've seen postings about turning it off for only Garageband in that scenario with a Terminal command.
How to disable this globally?
I've tried the expected holding the Option key when launching System Preferences as well as when selecting Trackpad within System Preferences and neither will make the option visible.
Anyone know the Terminal command to disable Force Touch globally?
Running 10.12.4 currently.
EDIT:
Looking at the command to turn it off for Garageband...
I tried this:
And it worked!!!
Finally banished the outrageously stupid Sierra feature that makes your trackpad behave like you're running Windows! YES!!
SOLVED!
