Touchscreen Gestures for Linux Desktops: Swipe
Long answer: How does this work? We intercept touchpad / touchscreen gestures and inject new, appropriate events back in. Most browsers employ the same shortcuts
For those amongst us who uses Linux Laptops with Touchscreens: I was looking to use occasional screen swipes/gestures etc., but could not find one to suit my needs.
So I wrote one:
https://github.com/evuraan/Swipe
(Today I added Touchscreen support to Swipe).
X11, Wayland et al supported. Equitable PRs and feedback welcome!

Introducing: edotool
After I wrote Swipe I realized I could reuse some of that logic for a simple keystroke simulator and thus born edotool.

3 finger touchpad gesture to switch between groups
I don't think there are native gestures in qtile. I use fusuma, since it works better for me on X11 and wayland, but I've also used libinput-gestures in the past when on X11, and that works too.

I got an error while trying to use fusuma
I'm new to linux, running last version of ubuntu MATE. Tried to get fusuma to have a better experience with my touchpad (I'm using hp notebook). I followed the whole guide for ubuntu on the Github page, created the config.yml using these two commands:

I've had enough of the fact that there isn't a way to change the 4-finger swipe down touchpad gesture to trigger the overview instead of the present windows effect...
For info, I've been using Fusuma to configure my touchpad gestures and it is awesome!

Asahi Linux To Users: Please Stop Using X.Org
https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma this might do the job? I have been using it on Hyprland and, despite the downside of being in Ruby, it works really well and seems stable.

3 Finger Workspace instead of 4.
I use Fusuma to manage gestures and have deactivated the COSMIC gestures extension.

This laptop has a trackpad above the keyboard
The gestures are interpretations of the touch signals that the trackpad provides, and those signals are available to your computer. The gestures and their functions are features of the operating system, but you can define your own gesture with tools like https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma. Are you mad that the Magic Trackpad does not come with a full set of gesture support for Mint, Gnome, i3, or any of the gosh hundreds of window managers out there? What would you expect to happen to resolve this complaint?

Can I add custome trackpad gestures to pop_os?
I like using fusuma.

Additional gestures.
Thx! I actually looked at this, but it only can emulate shortcuts pressing, as I get it. Instead I tried https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma which has more features and works perfectly with Hyprland.

Using i3 on a laptop is such a great experience
you can install fusuma (https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma) and add their i3 config (https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma/wiki/i3) for a start
