Is it possible to disable magic mouse back-forward gesture only in XCODE? While in browser it is fine, in XCODE it just totaly unwanted feature for me.

In short: disable it on the mouse:
defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode AppleEnableMouseSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool NO
for trackpads use:
defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool NO

wow, thanks. Xcode is so crappy that it hangs constantly if the back swipe is on. Did I mention I hate xcode? thanks. – SpaceDog – 2016-03-26T15:34:04.300

You cannot configure application specific gestures in OS X itself. You could though try the free BetterTouchTool to add browser specific gestures for back/forward and disable the global system gesture. http://www.bettertouchtool.net

Unless you want to write a custom daemon that checks for the program being open and writing the string in the plist file for the mouse... – nerdwaller – 2012-11-26T00:21:22.813
@nerdwaller it would be great if you could tell me which string exactly disables 'swipe between pages' gesture :) I've already written daemon which tracks application switching, but I can't figure out what string I should write to defaults to disable pages swipe thing. – Nik – 2012-11-26T22:06:44.803
@dig It will be somewhere similar to this:
defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse MouseHorizontalScroll -bool NOThat obviously disables Horizontal Scrolling, but it will be around there. I would look for you, but I got rid of my apple a while ago. Just runsudo find / -name "com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMutitouch.mouse", should get you to the right file and you could look through for swipe gestures. The command to disable should look similar to the above. When I get home, I can try to find my wife's laptop if she will let me try it. – nerdwaller – 2012-11-26T22:18:04.960@nerdwaller I've tried
defaults find com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mousewhich brings list of keys in mouse domain. However setting both MouseHorizontalScroll and MouseMomentumScroll to 0 doesn't do anything to scrolling at all:( I guess that checking box in GUI prefs tweaks other values somewhere – Nik – 2012-11-26T22:46:41.627@nerdwaller actually via GUI I can disable swipe, but leave horizontal scrolling – Nik – 2012-11-26T22:52:12.087
continue my investigation,
defaults write -g AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool NOclear checkbox in System Preferences, but does not actually disable swipe gesture – Nik – 2012-11-26T23:19:14.197
