You can replace most of the actions with keyboard shortcuts and tools like ydotool. However, there are some features that won't work. The most noticeable one is animations.
Wayland is a bit of trial and error and at the moment, there is not a good way to make Touchégg work... Unfortunately, I don't think there is going to be a solution in the future :S
I understand the Wayland headache is not that easily overcome. Indeed, the animation to visualize / confirm the gesture is a really nice feature. Thank you for your reply!
I really, really don't mean to be rude, but... why can't there just be wayland support without the animations?
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
I am switching to Wayland, and the gestures with touchegg+touché working on X11 only was the single thing preventing me from switching. However, I have noticed that some gestures still work in Wayland (show or switching workspaces from key shortcut for instance, or sending a command), but other not (closing Wayland windows).
Describe the solution you'd like
The "Wayland windows not closing" issue is solved when sending the command:
echo key alt+F4 | dotool
from this package. The second xdotool-alternative "ydotool" should also work.Therefore, every non-working preset in Touché can be replaced by an equivalent dotool command to work in Wayland.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have tried fusuma as an alternative to touchegg, but this is not relevant to my problem. I have also tried but failed to install ydotool, so I have used dotool instead.
Additional context
I am using touchegg+touché from the Wayland session of KDE Plasma 6 on Endeavour OS (arch).
