Fusuma VS gnome-shell-extended-gestures

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'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:

For info, I've been using Fusuma to configure my touchpad gestures and it is awesome!

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.

I use Fusuma to manage gestures and have deactivated the COSMIC gestures extension.

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?

I like using fusuma.

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.

you can install fusuma (https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma) and add their i3 config (https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma/wiki/i3) for a start

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.
