Hi i3 SIG, I want to configure the following gestures on the touchpad on i3. It's like Mac OSX.
* zoom in, zoom out by 2 finger pinch * actions by 3 finger swipe
How are you configuring the gestures? Is it possible to do it by creating such as a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-trackpad.conf with libinput for the gestures? The natural scrolling by using 2 finger swipe can be set in the file. So, I thought more complicated gestures with 3, 4 fingers might also be possible in the file.
It seems libinput-gestures [1][2] is a tool for that. Are you using the libinput-gestures? Seeing an old article [3] installing it from the source, now we still need to install the libinput-gestures from the source now or do we have the RPM package?
Thanks.

Hi Jun,
Sorry for the late reply. I must confess that I don't use gestures at all (mostly due to a lack of hardware) and thus have rather limited knowledge how they are configured. I guess that you can configure them via libinput, but the config format is all but intuitive.
libinput-gestures looks rather useful for that, but we do not have it packaged in Fedora. However, its just a script, so installation is just a git clone ;-) If you'd like to package it for Fedora, I'd be more than happy to help you out.
Cheers,
Dan
