shell-scripts VS Fusuma

Touchpad gesture to alt-tab.

Not natively. If you're on X11, you can use third-party tools for touchpad gestures; I have libinput-gestures and put together this (slightly hacky but functional for me) script which you're welcome to use.

For the time being, you can use this script as a workaround.

Here is a script I created for this purpose: https://github.com/nclarius/shell-scripts/tree/main/toggle-krunner

Yes, journalctl. A GUI alternative is KSystemLog. You can filter the journal to KWin by _COMM="kwin_x11"/"kwin_wayland", however that output is still very noisy. It helps to prefix the print statements so you can filter by those with -g; here is an example. Note that for journal you can get live updated output with -f. If you're on Wayland and are not getting any output, try systemd boot.

Use this script I wrote with konsole.konsole as the window class: https://github.com/nclarius/shell-scripts/blob/main/open-on-current-desktop/open_firefox_on_current_desktop.sh

Always open on active/focused/primary screen/Always open on current desktop

I wrote myself a custom launcher script to solve the same annoying behavior with virtual desktops and Firefox: https://github.com/nclarius/shell-scripts/tree/main/open-on-current-desktop Perhaps that can be used as a starting point to write a modification for activities and with Chrome.

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
