Using accessibility gestures

There is a set of gestures that make Procreate more convenient to use with a single hand. It is one of the many ways the software takes accessibility into account, by accommodating users according to their needs.

This is done using what is called single touch gestures, which can be activated when required. It is a floating menu with the UndoRedoZoomMove, and Fit Canvas buttons. We will see this in the next section.

Activating single touch gestures

The single touch gesture menu can be activated by following these steps:

  1. Go to your iPadOS Settings.
  2. Select Procreate.
  3. Find the option called Single Touch Gestures Companion and toggle it on:
