spectacle VS gestures

> warning about Mac is this: Window management is utter garbage. Maximizing is actively discouraged. Tiling left / right etc? Doesn't exist.

I've been using Spectacle (https://github.com/eczarny/spectacle/) which is technically unsupported but seems work fine on an M1 mac and provides all the neat tiling left/right/up-down windows 8 functionality via the keyboard. This is the first thing I install on a new work computer along with Amphetamine.

Spectacle for macOS is no longer being maintained.

There's a newer rewrite in Swift, called Rectangle.

like spectacleapp.com or alfredapp.com for example

Personally I use Spectacle [0] and a few handy shortcuts to move and resize windows. For me, it's just enough customization without going over the board with scripting a window manager from scratch. As I just discovered, Spectacle is no longer actively maintained, but it still works just fine. The recommended alternative from their readme is Rectangle [1].

A common alternative mentioned is Rectangle.

It is, since Spectacle is no longer maintained. Rectangle is linked from the Spectacle README on GitHub: "Spectacle users have recommended Rectangle as an open source alternative."

If you're comfortable with shortcuts already, consider using Spectacle. Or their successor, Rectangle.

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].
