Enhancement suggestion: support trackpad gestures for window management

[0n0mat0p03ia]

Enhancement Suggestion: as a user, I'd like to maximize, minimize, and close window previews using trackpad gestures.

Comment: essentially, what Swish does. Or, if possible, update DockDoor so that Swish actions work on DockDoor window previews (at least for dock peek, not sure how well this would work for Ctrl+Tab).

And also: Better Touch Tool supports an almost infinite number of trackpad gestures. Haven't tested whether they work with DockDoor, but it would be awesome if they did.

If I understand correctly, you want to trigger opening/closing the preview by swiping up/down on the app icon in the dock instead of hovering? it's a good idea :+1:

What I'm suggesting is supporting trackpad gestures when hovering over a window's preview image. For example:

• Two-finger pinch in: closes app
• Two-finger pinch out: makes the app full screen
• Two-finger swipe up: maximizes foreground app window
• Two-finger swipe down: minimizes foreground app window

I took these gestures/actions from Swish. Swish supports these gestures when hovering over a dock icon. (It also supports these gestures when hovering over a window and holding a modifier key). It's a great app, worth trying if you haven't before.

Swish and Better Touch Tool gestures work on most apps and their windows in macOS. But they don't work on DockDoor window previews (actually, I didn't test BTT).

If it's possible to update DockDoor so that its preview windows look like "standard" windows to other apps, then people can use Swish, BTT, or another tool to take actions on those windows. But if it's not possible or easy to do, then implementing the gestures above would still be nice.
