Do you have any plans to support Wayland #635

Do you have any plans to support Wayland？

JoseExposito commented 1 year ago

No, because it won't be possible. Wayland doesn't allow to modify other "clients" (i.e.windows) like X11 allows, so a tool like this one is nor possible.

However, Wayland compositors have the capacity to implement their own gestures. For example, GNOME has very nice 3 finger gestures.

Closing the issue as this is not possible to implement.

@JoseExposito , what about touchégg / touché noticibly reporting back to the user (in its logs and in any GUI) that it does not work when detecting running within a Wayland environment? Also the documentation / README.md will only mention at the very end that it requires X11 and does not support Wayland.

I spent more than an hour to figure out what's wrong.

@Abdull I added a dialog, hopefully it makes it a bit easier to figure out why some features might not work:
