Is it possible to implement the binding of finger tap (single tap, double tap, two fingers tap, and so on) for opening Kando menu? It can be very useful for touchscreen.

For now, this is not planned. In the far future, this would be cool, but implementing something like this in a cross-platform manner is really hard. On some platforms, it may even be impossible.

So for now, I would advice you to look for a third-party tool which can do this and then simply call kando -m <menu name> when the gesture is performed.

On macOS, you could use BetterTouchTool, Windows supports binding shortcuts to touch gestures natively, and on Linux we have touchegg. The latter is X11-only, but I think on Wayland this would be more or less impossible for now anyways. If you find a way to run commands using touch gestures on Wayland, please let me know!

BTW, this is almost a duplicate of #507.
