Is there any way to enable touch controls like windows had? I looked at a few videos, but they’re seems to be a thing where Linux updates and some of the commands are either not available on the directions no more or the command line might have made a change entirely.
What I’m trying to enable is the ability to use three fingers, zoom-in and out with pinch controls.
Or is it enabled already and there’s a better resource/gesture controls to customize them. Because, I just noticed that when I do use three fingers swiping up and down, the workspace changes. I don’t want that, I want gesture controls similar to windows. But, more customizable.
Good news, I did find Touche. However, now the only feature I’m missing is the ability to zoon in and out using pinch controlling. Anyone knows what I can do to solve that?
If you’re on GNOME, add Touchegg to Touche so you can customize gestures like three-finger swipes or pinch-to-zoom. It can even override GNOME’s default gestures so you’re not stuck with workspace switching.
On KDE, gestures are already built in under System Settings → Workspace Behavior → Touchscreen.
If you’re not sure which display server you’re using (Wayland or X11), it’s worth checking since Touchegg works best on X11.
Install with:
sudo apt install touchegg
Then open Touche to set your own gestures. This gives you something pretty close to Windows’ multitouch, and customizable.
