Synaptics Gesture Suite for Linux is specific for the company's Touchpad and Clickpad products, not, as of yet, its touchscreen. Even so, some sort of gesture-based interface is quickly becoming a. Linux is the single largest platform for embedded and IoT systems today and has an even greater need for better debugging support at system level. We are therefore thrilled to release an even better version of Tracealyzer that is now also optimised for the needs of embedded Linux developers.” Tracealyzer ships with support for embedded Linux. Is it possible to set up Google Chrome in a way to have touchpad swipe gestures available? For example, use two fingers and swipe to the right/left to navigate history. Stack Exchange Network. Unix & Linux Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users of Linux.
If you want to set-up touchpad gestures on Linux, but don’t know how, you should check out the following app.
The app is called ‘Gestures’ and is described by its developer as being a “minimal Gtk+ GUI app for libinput-gestures”.

Windows and macOS both come with a variety of useful touchpad gestures pre-configured out of the box, and offer easy-to-access settings for adjusting or changing gesture behaviour to your liking.
Alas Ubuntu, like many Linux distributions, is a little lacking in this regard. Only a handful of basic gestures for scrolling and right-click available out of the box on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, for instance.
But by using the “Gestures” app you can quickly effect a set of custom trackpad gestures that are on par with other operating systems, and in some cases, far more useful!
Gestures provides an easy-to-use graphical front-end to libinput-gestures, thus saving you the need to craft a bespoke libinput-gestures config file by hand (or browse around to find a pre-prepared one online).
You can quickly enable trackpad gestures on Ubuntu 18.04 and similar Linux distributions, all based on whether you swipe or pinch the touchpad; the direction you move in; and/or the number of fingers you use in the gesture.
For instance, you could create a custom gesture to trigger the GNOME Shell Activities Overlay when you swipe down with two fingers (using xdtool to bind the gesture to a keyboard shortcut).
You might also set up a custom trackpad gesture with a four finger pinch instantly opening the Nautilus file manager, launch Firefox, take a screenshot, or anything else you want.
You can learn more about Gestures over on its Gitlab page, linked below.
There you’ll find a list of dependencies and build instructions for installing the app on your system:
I published 'Fusuma' to RubyGems that recognize swipe or pinch gesture on Linux touchpad.
https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma
You can add touchpad gestures to run commands or common tasks, such as changing workspaces, back or forward on a browser, etc.
This my first post is how to use and customize Fusuma.
If you use Debian-based OS (using apt for package management), you can use the following commands like 'apt install' as they are.
I'm using fusuma on elementary OS Loki on Dell XPS 13(9360).
You can use libinput that depends on Fusuma for Ubuntu 15.04 and above, but you should try xswipe to use the Synaptics driver for older versions' Ubuntu.
Please confirm at first whether you have ruby installed.
You can use the fusuma with Ruby it installed in System Wide.
Bit star casino. (Of course, even rbenv and rvm is OK)
Install libinput-tools for reading touchpad input.
(Fusuma use the output of debug logs by libinput debug-events in itself)
Also install xdotool so that fusuma trigger shortcuts such as Alt + Left, Alt + Right and so on.
i is an abbreviation for install. If you want to install the fusuma to Ruby in System-Wide is required sudo.
(If you use the Ruby you have installed via rbenv and rvm, you can install with $ gem install fusuma)
Create a configurations file to ~/.config/fusuma/config.yml
Open ~/.config/fusuma/config.yml in editor, then paste following content.
The above example is registering the shortcut of the browser by three fingers' swipe.
(Back / Forward / Create Tab / Close Tab)
To execute Fusuma, it needs to give permission to read to the input of touchpad to the user.
gpasswd command adds the user to the input group.
($ USER is the username at runtime)
Need to log out and log in (or restart) from X
Fusuma cannot recognize the touchpad without this process.
Because it must be reflected to add the user in the input group.
Open terminal, and type Fusuma and endter.
It's OK if all actions are worked (Back / Forward / Create Tab / Close Tab) when you swipe with Three-finger on the browser.
This -d option is running as Unix demon, it disconnects from the terminal process.
So fusuma is available even after closing terminal.
Add recognition gestures and assigns commands to it in ~/.config/fusuma/config.yml.
To switch the workspace, you can set xdotool key ctrl + alt + Up orxdotool key ctrl + alt + Down
I recommend that you try such commands to work properly on the terminal.
Shortcuts for workspace depend on the WindowManager in this example. (Gnome 3 moves up and down with xdotool key ctrl + alt + Up andxdotool key ctrl + alt + Down)
Paste the following at the bottom of the swipe section
If you rewrite the config file, you must do re-run fusuma command after it stops with Ctrl-c or kill command.
If you can confirm the operation of the customized four-finger swipe, it is OK.
Set fusuma to start automatically, because it is troublesome to open the terminal and execute Fusuma command with every restarts your laptop.
Enter the which fusuma in the terminal, to note the path to launch Fusuma
Start gnome-session-properties, enter the launch path noted the previous step by adding the -d On the job 3 0 9 – project time tracker. Bad girl game. options (daemonize) at the end.
(If you have installed fusuma with Ruby on rbenv or rvm, you can update with $ gem update fusuma)
In ~/.config/fusuma/config.yml, you can set Pinch Zoom (pinch in / pinch out) and Sensitivity for each gesture(threshold).
It is also possible to set gestures that pinch in continuity.
See Fusuma repository README for more information.
