Linux Touchpad gestures.
by ChristianRobert from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51DRM)
Hello guys, first of all, thank you for taking your time to read this.
I am quite new to Linux, even if I am a "proficient newbie" since I am used to code, reading writing digging for answers but this one gets me by the "nose".
The reason I am writing here is because I need touchpad gestures, I love them since I use a mouse for gaming only and navigating since I don't have good enough gestures on Linux ( I don't like carrying a mouse on the go, for me it feels more natural to use the touchpad ).
Starting with my issue now. I use libinput gestures on ZorinOS, great distro, I enjoy it very much but there is a major flaw for me at least.
I need windows/mac like gestures, so the biggest issue is that I can't use two fingers right for backing up a page in browser, browsing a lot of web from my bed. And another big one, is that I don't seem to find/exist a feature, keyboard combo that allows me to cycle workspaces.
When I used ElementaryOS I had all those gestures(beside backing up in browser) but something was lacking and I did not use that anymore.
My question, is a way of getting all those ? Backing up in browser and cycling through workspaces with a specific gesture ?
Thank you very much for your answers, looking forward for your replyes.
Chris.
