Nice. However the biggest limitation (which is no fault of this app) is that the gestures simply trigger commands upon their completion, with no intermediate feedback. What would it take to implement animations that follow gestures in progress like how macOS's change workspace animation continuously tracks one's fingers during the swipe?
- cunidev 8y agoHeh, a way larger work that any tool of this kind currently on Linux, implemented directly from the Linux desktop developers. I can see the problem though, would love to see better upstream support for touchpad gestures myself.
- solarkraft 8y agoI have been thinking about this as well and believe that the only way to get this is the desktop environment implementing this. However I think there might be some space for a library here, or maybe a common API.
- Un1corn 8y agoI haven't tried it yet myself but it seems that in GNOME 3 there is an animation for the workspace touchpad gesture. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/9hsw0p/nice_touchpad_gestures_improvement_in_gnome_330/ https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/9hsw0p/nice_touchpad...
- cunidev 8y agoWasn't aware of this, thanks for reporting! I wonder why they didn't put this in their official 3.30 changelog, it's quite a big change. I seriously doubt this will be exposed through dbus or anyhow customizable, but it's a huge step forward anyway. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/ebe6f59d7e3c3b520b5d52ddf39be6a64ec3f80b https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/ebe6f59d7e...
