Hi everyone.
I’ve seen that people using Mac OS can switch between screens with just the touchpad, by sliding two fingers left or right.
Is it possible to configure this in Manjaro?

I used libinput-gestures to make that work, you will have to change the default config for it to work on the fingers you want
### LIBINPUT-GESTURES
[Libinput-gestures][REPO] is a utility which reads [libinput
gestures](https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/gestures.html)
from your touchpad and maps them to gestures you configure in a
configuration file. Each gesture can be configured to activate a shell
command which is typically an [_xdotool_][XDOTOOL] command to action
desktop/window/application keyboard combinations and commands. See the
examples in the provided `libinput-gestures.conf` file. My motivation
for creating this is to use triple swipe up/down to switch workspaces,
and triple swipe right/left to go backwards/forwards in my browser, as
per the default configuration.
This small and simple utility is only intended to be used temporarily
until GNOME and other DE's action libinput gestures natively. It parses
the output of the _libinput list-devices_ and _libinput debug-events_
utilities so is a little fragile to any version changes in their output
format.
This utility is developed and tested on Arch linux using the GNOME 3 DE
