gestures VS touche

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].

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

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.
