The day KDE implements Windows 10 touchpad gestures will be the last day for my Windows partition
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.

Is it possible to map keystrokes to 3-finger swipe gestures (for example alt+left for backswiping) on a touchpad in Manjaro?
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.

Cant install extended gestures, fedora 35, gnome 41, Wayland
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?
