On my Thinkpad Helix I can see some benefit to configuring the Synaptics
touchpad not to do any multi-finger gesture recognition, so that e.g. Qt
applications can see touch points from the touchpad. And then it is nice to
have touchegg to interpret the 2-finger flick and other gestures. But when I
run touchegg, it recognizes all the same gestures on the touchscreen too. I
would like it to ignore the touchscreen so that I have full functionality
available in applications: all the touchpoints are always passed through. So I
think it would be nice if touchegg.conf had a means to specify which devices to
listen on, by name or by type. Or, it could take the device as a command-line
parameter.
Maybe it could then be possible to run two instances, one listening on one
device and another on another, with different configurations. If such a thing
worked well, maybe I would like to have only tap gestures but not any drag
gestures on the touchscreen: a means of simulating right-clicking is quite
useful, whereas I don't want to block any dynamic-movement gestures from being
passed through to applications.
