touche VS HADRIAN

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

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.

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.

Then you're gonna need to install dialog with pacman -S dialog and follow the instructions to get the HADRIAN script from this Github page. This is a script for Arch that downloads and installs the latest version of Pantheon, LightDM, the elementary greeter, and does all the basic setup for you. Pick the options you want (I did all of them because I actually like the default elementary apps), go through the installer, and when you're done you'll be back to the CLI, where you want to reboot.

I use this script from Github from a fresh EOS install (Base + Devel, no DE through the installer). Just pick all the options you want -- obviously if you don't pick something it won't work -- and you're mostly off to the races. Everything works except the switchboard-plug-mouse-touchpad which, would you believe, is the settings panel for mouse and touchpad. You need to git clone that and edit the meson_options.txt file to say option('gnome_40', type : 'boolean', value : true) (it defaults to false which makes it crash when opened). Just follow the build instructions on its page once you've done that edit.

I've made a Pantheon install script for arch linux here. It installs perfectly atleast on a VM. I'm the only one who've tried it so far, so there's a chance it won't work for you out of the box.
