The built in functions take advantage of 1, 2, 3, or 4, finger actions on trackpads on Mac. Force touch is also enabled for 1 finger actions. But Apple does not appear to have reserved any unique force touch functions for multiple fingers force touching simultaneously. (or for 5 fingers either)

Since this seems like possible room for expanding the functionality for what our fingers can do on trackpads, is there any way to customize what multiple fingers (2, 3, 4, or 5) force touching simultaneously do?

e.g. force touch with 2 fingers could search the term in spotlight automatically, instead of via Look Up with 1 finger force touch.
e.g. force touch with 3 fingers could be a cut or copy or paste depending on user preference
etc...

Is there any third party software that can do this?
