Touchpad gestures on xfce4

I just downloaded linux and want to make touchpad gestures like on windows 10-11. What are some simple programs?

Mouse gestures or touchpad gestures - no difference.
Did you ask Google before you asked here?
What did you learn which you can’t translate/implement to here?

I’m afraid (no, I’m not - it’s just a saying …)
that I don’t know about how these things work in Windows whatever version.

I do know that there are browser extensions for using gestures - but that is just within the browser - not everywhere else.

Considering that you’re using Xfce, the settings for touchpad gestures should normally be in the Xfce System Settings application.

But I’m afraid that’s all I can tell you, because I have neither a touchpad nor Xfce. :man_shrugging:

Back and forward in browsers with gesture:

  • install libinput-gestures and the gui
  • sudo gpasswd -a $USER input
  • libinput-gestures-setup autostart start
  • add gesture xdotool key alt+Left for back

I used Gestures (AUR (en) - gestures) with XFCE. Development seems to have stopped and the author recommends Touche (GitHub - JoseExposito/touche: The desktop application to configure Touchégg)
