cosmic VS gnome-shell-extended-gestures

They are both called Cosmic to make things less confusing.

I think there might be some confusion in this poll and thread -- COSMIC is the name of both a suite of components in Pop_Shell, which modifies (but does not replace) GNOME shell components like the dock and workspaces, as well as a full-fledged desktop environment that replaces GNOME.

I'm using PopOS with Wayland on a Surface Go 2, and can't find a way to switch between workspaces and apps using multitouch gestures. There's a bug report here touching on these issues but I'm wondering of anyone has found a good workaround or fix for this. Any advice appreciated!

FWIW, I've also created a Github issue on the subject: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic/issues/386

The 'Cosmic' name also indicates that; see https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic.

Just to be clear, you are talking about the Pop Launcher and not the Cosmic Applications Launcher, correct? (since there may be some confusion around what the "Pop Launcher" is vs. the "Cosmic Applications Launcher" ... see https://imgur.com/a/XN34drv for images)

gnome-shell-extended-gestures: this one requires Wayland, not sure if this is okay or not

I don't know where you can exactly read up on that. I guess go to the extension's github page and ask there. Here how it looks in the extension's settings.

There are some Github projects that provide both utilities in one (Ex. fusuma and fusuma-plugin-sendkey) and even some projects that already have the browser back/forward integrated in Wayland (Ex. gnome-shell-extended-gestures).

Gnome 3 has gesture support. I don't think many are built in, certainly not as many as mac OS gives you out of the box. But you can go wild: https://github.com/mpiannucci/gnome-shell-extended-gestures

Hi, before G40 I use this extension to manage swipe gestures, now with native gnome gestures I have some problem to switch from application to another application in the same workspace; is there a way to use two fingers horizontal swipe for emulate the ALT-TAB function? Thx

I was thinking of this one: https://github.com/mpiannucci/gnome-shell-extended-gestures. The other person’s link appears to be a better fit though.

This is really dependent on your desktop environment. For example, this is a GNOME extension that adds extra touchpad gestures.

Are you using X11 or Wayland? The README.md for that extension says that it only works on Wayland (just like Gnome's built-in support for touchpad gestures).

Also looking for an answer to this. I've tried gnome-shell-extended-gestures and it lets me map a multitouch gesture to "back", but only 3 or 4 finger gestures. No luck there for the 2 finger horizontal history controls I'm used to with Windows and ChromeOS.
