Trackpad Gestures and Keyboard Mapping
by TitaniumJones from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BCQB)
I am new to Linux. I've played with various distributions for the past 10-15 years and never managed to stick to it. Back in March, I began my latest delve into Linux and, well frankly, I've not booted my mac partition since.
Anyway to get to the point, Macs have great track pad Gestures and I wanted them on my linux install. I installed and ran, very successfully, Fusuma and it's associated plugin. This parses track pad gestures to keyboard combos. It worked very well for a long time. I was able to use 3 fingers to swipe up and down between workspaces and 4 fingers would show me all the windows open in that workspace. Great.
Now for the problem. I must have installed something, but now when I have more than 2 workspaces, the gesture flashes past from the top to the bottom and back again. With the 4 finger gesture, the open windows are shown for a split second and then it goes back to the desktop.
I don't even know where to begin diagnostically. Any help would be grateful. Thanks
