The log reads:

        No action configured for this gesture

Could you double check that you configured an action, please? Feel free to share your config file and I'll have a look.

I tried with and without this config. In version 1.1.1 swiping with two fingers scrolls the screen.

The configuration used by v1 is not 100% compatible with v2. I'd recommend to update to v2, backup and delete the old configuration and use Touché to generate your new configuration.

Are you using a touchscreen or a touchpad? v2 does not support gestures with 2 fingers in touchpads.

nicon89 commented 1 year ago

I'm using touchscreen. Does v2 support scrolling gestures? I don't see them in Touche.

JoseExposito commented 1 year ago

There isn't a scroll action as in V1, but you can use: https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg#mouse-click-mouse_click

With values 4 and 5.

nicon89 commented 1 year ago

Got it. Thank you.

nicon89 commented 1 year ago

I got it running, but I used xdtool (scrolls more than value 4/5 for the "MOUSE_CLICK"), but now I wanted to make this case working: select text (swipe any direction) => right-click (two fingers tap) Right now it works partially - when I select text and right-click it un-selects the selected text. Is there something I can do with this?

Also I was looking for a way to move application to another (KDE) desktop with 4-finger swipe on left/right, so that would play nicely with:

    <gesture type="SWIPE" fingers="4" direction="UP">
      <action type="CHANGE_DESKTOP">
        <direction>auto</direction>
        <animate>true</animate>
        <animationPosition>auto</animationPosition>
      </action>
    </gesture>

Do you have any suggestions how this can be done? Thank you!

JoseExposito commented 1 year ago

Right now it works partially - when I select text and right-click it un-selects the selected text. Is there something I can do with this?

Not much other than emulating right click with the MOUSE_CLICK action.

I think that GTK and apps like Chrome support long-click to open the contextual menu... And the toolkit (i.e., GTK, Qt, etc) is the right place to implement it. You'd get a better user experience requesting this feature in the toolkit rather than trying to workaround it with a tool like this one.

Also I was looking for a way to move application to another (KDE) desktop with 4-finger swipe on left/right

Have you tried to use the SEND_KEYS action to use the shortcut associated with that action?

nicon89 commented 1 year ago

I do emulate right click with the mouse click - I'm able to do right click with two-finger tap, but for some reason it unselects the text that select first.

nicon89 commented 1 year ago

Have you tried to use the SEND_KEYS action to use the shortcut associated with that action? Yes, I got this one working, thanks!

Yes, as I mentioned I can not change that, you can try to request it to the developers of the toolkit or app you are using.

nicon89 commented 1 year ago

Got it. Thank you anyway.
