Actions are currently limited to things baked into the GNOME shell because this extension is basically sandboxed there.Current LimitationsĬurrently there are a few limitations so far that you should be aware of:
Feel free to share the values that work for you in the hardware list. Using the settings dialog you can make the gestures more sensitive by increasing the value (>0) or less sensitive by decreasing the value (<0). There is now a setting for adjusting the sensitivity which helps expand the usefullness to more hardware. Please see hardware for more information!. It has been tested on many modern devices. It should work on most modern laptops with multitouch trackpads. What Does It Allow Me To Doįor now, it allows the user the configure three finger horizontal and vertical gestures to perform a choice of actions supplied through the extension settings in gnome-tweak-tool. So I made this extension which lets you enable and configure other gestures such as three finger swipes. There are some quirks though and I thought I could make something that works more integrated with GNOME. I recently found libinput-gestures which allows you configure other gestures seen by libinput. When it sees this gesture, it switches workspaces for the user, much like macOS is famous for doing by default. However, it is still fresh and the only gesture detected and acted on out of the box is four finger vertical swipes. Provides extended touchpad gesture functionality and configuration to the GNOME desktop.īy defualt, GNOME uses libinput to detect touchpad gestures as they are performed by the user.
