Touchpad 2-finger swipe left/right not working #642

Closed nicon89 closed 1 year ago

nicon89 commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug

Without touchegg when I swipe left/right with 2-fingers on the touchpad I can go through long lines in the browser (and not only browser). With touchegg installed this feature doesn't work. As far as I know 2-finger swipes are not supported on the touchpad. Is there a way to get it running? It works well on touchscreen, but not on the touchpad.

Expected behaviour

Swipe left < Swipe right >

Actual behaviour

Nothing happens.

I don't want to use it for the history jump (as in suggested https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/two-finger-history-jump/), but to scroll left/right on the websites that don't "fit".

Have you tried libinput-gestures, a tool with similar functionality? https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures

Are you sure installing of uninstall Touchégg changes the way 2 finger scroll works?

Touchégg completely ignores 2 finger scroll and should not change this behaviour at all

That's actually weird - I found this setting to be disabled in KDE... Even though I had it enabled for months. After re-enabling it works fine... Thank you.
