GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 691358
Gesture support for touchpads
Last modified: 2021-06-09 16:26:48 UTC
Not sure where this bug belongs exactly, but I'll start by filing it here. External touchpad devices, such as the Logitech T650, are getting more common, and we see laptops getting bigger touchpads generally: some operating systems now associate system-level actions with touchpad gestures. Some possible examples: - three finger swype from the top to reveal overview - three finger swype from the bottom to reveal message tray - three finger swypes from sides to switch app If we think doing this is a good idea, there should probably be a way in Settings to associate specific gestures with the system-level actions we decide to support.
I've got a T620 as well, and I'm going to spend some time getting the battery reporting working in upower. If anyone needs any HID++v2 documentation, let me know.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
