gestures VS discrete-scroll

I can only agree about the obsession the developers seem to have about workspace gestures. However, my solution was installing the Gestures app combined with xdotool (or ydotool if on Wayland). Now I can configure whatever combination of touchpad gestures I want.

Gestures is another alternative. Been using it for the past two years, works great and is very easy to configure.

I have previously configured gestures using https://gitlab.com/cunidev/gestures.

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.

To install guestures for ubuntu e.g 3-finger scroll You can follow on the link module below https://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/ubuntu-touchpad-gestures-install Or you can manually install the modules from their repositories https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures Then install this https://gitlab.com/cunidev/gestures Afterwards just reboot your system for the effects to take effect

Gestures plus xdotool (or ydotool if on Wayland).

Can someone give the command for the above effect so I can configure it via gestures?

I found the Gesture flatpack, but it just says "unsupported on Wayland session" to my costume gestures. Probably because the gesture is already taken. Is there a way to disable the wayland gesture, so it instead uses my custom gesture?

I haven't tried, but the key codes here looks like they might be of use: https://gitlab.com/cunidev/gestures/-/wikis/xdotool-list-of-key-codes

Plasma has workspace-like features and check this out for gestures[1].

DiscreteScroll - Very basic, just removes the acceleration, doesn’t smooth scrolling. No GUI, click and run and forget about it. add it to “Open at login” to never worry about enabling it.

Discrete-Scroll solved this issue for me. I did have to download XCode and build the project to make it native M1. But I had never used XCode before and it was still pretty easy, I just bumbled around until I found the "Build" button and then the button that let me install the app I just made. It works perfectly and fixes what is admittedly a minor issue.

DiscreteScroll This is the most bare-bones and just fixes the annoying acceleration-based scrolling-model in macOS and replaces it with a more windows-like velocity-based scrolling-model. Both MOS and Mac Mouse Fix also do this. This one is just super minimal and unobtrusive. You do need to run it every time you login, but its super minimal and lightweight. There’s no GUI, so you open it and it just does its thing in the background. You close it in Activity Monitor. I use this still because Mos and Mac Mouse Fix dont fix gaming in macOS. Minecraft doesn’t move selected spaces in the hot bar with each scroll-click with either. DiscreteScroll fixes this.

for the occasional game where you want each “click” from the scroll-wheel to be precise, there’s DiscreteScroll

You can try Discrete Scroll. I found it here.
