    Have you tried Simon Schneegans "Gnome Pie" application launcher that lets you define your own pie menus?

    You want confirmation for your command, which I find only natural. It is unfortunate KDE's own mouse gestures are not more developed. There are Easystroke for X11 and Gnomie-Pie from the same dev you mentioned. The latter I never used myself, but someone implied it is cross-DE, ironically.

    Anyway, consider https://github.com/Schneegans/Gnome-Pie. Despite the name, it works outside GNOME.

    If you're fine with using an external program, I think Gnome Pie can detect and change its menu depending on the currently selected window. Then maybe you could bind its options to Hotkeys in Xournal? There's also the far superior Fly Pie.
