Customize touchpad gestures on Plasma 6 Wayland

Support KDE Plasma
1

Hi, I’ve been using wayland for a few weeks now and it’s been great. The default gestures are useful, 3-finger swipes switch virtual desktops, 4-finger vertical swipes open overview, etc.

But 4-finger horizontal swipes behave the same way as 3-finger horizontal swipes (switching desktops). Is it possible to configure the 4-finger swipe to switch Activities?

I didn’t find any settings for this, so this might not be user-configurable (yet).
In that case, how do you disable 4-finger swipes so that another method (libinput-gestures, etc.) can be used to handle them?

Hey, did you find a way to configure this? I’m really interested in configuring specific gestures.

Hi @Nukiver I think it’s fairly unlikely the OP will reply (last post up to now was in this thread, over 6 months ago). :wink:

You would, in any case, be better to start your own topic (rather than bumping an old thread) and post your system details.

Your setup will be different — not that we can see much of the OP’s!

This way you hopefully attract views and replies suited to your needs. :smiley_cat:

Worth reading if you haven’t done so already:

I’ll close this one now.

Cheers!
