ToucheggKDE VS touche

Touchegg is really good for multi-finger gestures. The default configuration file is for Gnome so you will need to download this .conf file to use it in KDE. You can edit the config file in GUI with Touché.

I love using touchegg and ToucheggKDE for improve gesture experience on KDE Plasma. But the issue I encountered when using Void Linux is the touchegg not work until I run touchegg in terminal, even the daemon already executed with user ' _touchegg ' with command ' touchegg --daemon '

Hello everyone, I bought around a month back HP 745 G5 with locked bios (the seller is legit, and has many of these laptops from some company) which was fun unlocking, when I was finally able to go into bios I dumped Windows and installed Arch for my first time. But I have a few problems: When I open my laptop I have this weird pattern (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ4CwPahylo) The audio and microphone mute indication light doesn't work Bluetooth doesn't work Gestures like with two fingers left/right for browser navigation and zoom don't work (I tried this: https://github.com/NayamAmarshe/ToucheggKDE but it doesn't work as I would like) The login screen's cursor looks weird and small (https://i.imgur.com/0Ngw8mN.jpg) on the lock screen looks normal.

I'm using kubuntu 22.04 and running on X11. Finally I have got my laptop gestures working great with touchegg and toucheggkde and love the back a page forward a page swipes in Firefox. Also the scaling I have is set at 150% and everything is clear and smooth on my 1980x1080 (16.9) laptop screen. I also use the Gamma settings in X11 which doesn't show in Wayland. Such a pity that these settings are not available in Wayland without having blurry fonts etc. I think if more distros started adding these gesture features the average user that's switching from macs or windoze would be happier. A lot of people I have tried to convert complain about this and have gone back. I know that Elementary has good gestures but I don't think they work if your using Firefox?

Plasma doesn't come with gesture support out of the box yet, at least on X11 (not sure about Wayland). Touchegg is a really useful software that can enable gesture support really well. After you install it, you can use the touchegg config file from this repo as a good starting point.

I would suggest you to use touchegg. Just install Touchegg, and then install KDE Touchegg. Additionally, you can also install Touche (GUI for touchegg configuration) . Just keep in mind, gestures won't be 1-to-1 with your finger movements. But, they work perfectly fine other than that.

I use touchégg for touch screen and touch pad gestures on my 2 in 1. Works really smooth. To configure it easily I further suggest touché

There isn't something like this that currently exists, and three-finger swipes in KDE are set to switching workspaces (you cannot change this unfortunately). However, if you use https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg with the https://github.com/JoseExposito/touche GUI, you can customise a different gesture to press Alt-Tab.

Touchegg is really good for multi-finger gestures. The default configuration file is for Gnome so you will need to download this .conf file to use it in KDE. You can edit the config file in GUI with Touché.

git clone https://github.com/JoseExposito/touche cd touche

Everything is here just be aware that when you change the number of fingers set for the gnome gesture in the gnome extension it doesn't unregister it's old mapping you have to manually remove them in the config file ( I don't know if this bug is fixed yet ) otherwise you will not be able to map other gesture from the GUI

I've tried touche and gestures but neither of these two seems to work. For example, I mapped the following syntax in gestures: "xdotool key alt+left" (or alt_l+left) to be able to backswipe in Google Chrome but nothing happens. The same goes for touche. I would appreciate your help.

Try touché

After a little research I found that Touchégg was a good option. I even installed the desktop application to configure it. The thing is that I was really expecting to use my touchpad for the gestures, but for some reason Touchégg recognizes my Touchscreen only. Went to the touchegg.conf to see if there was an option to change this and didn't find anything.

There are many options for this 1. libinput gestures 2. Touchegg which has a GUI called Touché 3. Fusuma

Using touchegg + touche. Just tried in firefox - works fine.
