Describe the issue None of the default commands seem to work, even after I added the user to the group and logged out. I am trying to get alt+tab functionality with 3/4 finger swipe up. I tried with the command in quotes but it does not work. Note I also installed: https://gitlab.com/cunidev/gestures Which is a little UI for libinput-gestures. When I use that UI, add the same (3 finger) gesture with the exact same command, it does work. But I would like my setup to be independent from that little UI tool.

You say "default commands" but they are not the default commands. You have clobbered the default config with something else. Please reinstall and leave the default /etc/libinput-gestures.conf as is then try again and see if the default swipe up/down can change workspaces. Go through all the steps in the trouble-shooting section.

To create a custom config, copy that file to your own ~/.config/libinput-gestures.conf and edit as you like.

I didn't create a custom config because the default didn't work yet. But I started over and now it works. I was a bit too quick opening an issue.
