novo gesto #565

Closed Fsouza1997 closed 2 years ago

I would like to request that the 3-finger gestures (dragging them from one side to another), be more similar to what windows offers. It would be really cool if it were possible not only to change apps, but also to change instances of the same app so it would be 3 fingers from one side to the other to change apps (the change of apps would be in the sense that the fingers slide) being that, linux shows all the independent windows of the same app, so it would be nice if it were possible drag down and up so that it was possible to switch from a window of the same app so for example, if the user wants to change apps he drags 3 fingers to one side and if he doesn't want the last tab he was on in this app, he could continue with 3 fingers on the trackpad and drag down and change instance (since in linux the app instances are shown below) and switch apps again by dragging the 3 fingers up (as it is in windows) or if the user simply wanted to change the app instance he would drag 4 fingers to the side (left/right and right/left)

I'm afraid that kind of complex action should be implemented by your desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, etc).

The closer you can get is emulating Alt+Tab (second example): https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg#keyboard-shortcut-send_keys

You can try to request this feature in your favourite window manager/compositor.

OK thanks. I try to emulate the alt + tab but it crashes after the action (usually when it's the first time I use the action or after I haven't used it for a while)
