Volume/Brightness control #131

Open jdpurcell opened 1 year ago

jdpurcell commented 1 year ago

I had some ideas about using Multitouch for volume and brightness control. This is not necessarily a feature request, but I thought some of these ideas were too cool not to share 😄

I'm using this configuration currently:

And I was thinking it would be nice to have finer control, such as when using Mac's Option+Shift+Volume Up/Down key combinations. An action for "Volume Up, Small Step", "Volume Down, Small Step", etc., for example, which I could set for corner taps, and I'd set the normal Up/Down actions for corner clicks.

Or instead of these fixed actions, it would be awesome if some type of "analog" control were possible, similar to the option Windows has (with Precision Touchpads) for multi-finger swipes (see volume OSD in screen's top-left corner): https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6741660/196051429-1139940f-04b4-484b-a9e2-a239e7763a0a.mp4

Maybe even with one-finer edge swipes, kind of like in the "Scroll" app:

Thanks for this! I'll be honest, I was unaware of the small steps in macOS and will plan to add this in an upcoming release.

An analog gesture for this is commonly requested. I'll see what my bandwidth is and if I can roll something like it in at the same time.
