It used to be possible to make dragging with Drag Lock and 3 Finger Drag work at the same time by running these two commands in the terminal and rebooting:

defaults write com.apple.AppleMultitouchTrackpad TrackpadThreeFingerDrag -bool true
defaults write com.apple.AppleMultitouchTrackpad Dragging -bool true

See, for example, here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/que...-trackpad-drag-lock-and-3-finger-drag-at-once

However, it appears that macOS 26 broke this hack. Is there another way to make this work? I use 3 Finger Drag all the time, but unfortunately, it disables text selection with a tap.
