Workspace movement with touchpad gestures

Switch between workspaces with touchpad gestures

https://github.com/WillPower3309/swayfx/assets/35975961/667d1420-be25-404c-a61e-2aa7db7c0178

TODO:

• [x] Workspace logic
  • [x] Switch between fullscreen/non-fullscreen views
  • [x] Clip floating views to the output while switching
  • [x] Clip the floating views to the workspace bounds while switching
• [x] Touchpad gestures
  • [x] Snap to the nearest workspace on release (without animations for now)
• [x] Horizontal support
• [x] Vertical support
• [ ] ~Animations?~ (We should wait until animations have landed in master)
• [x] Bounce back feedback (spring effect when trying to go past the last workspace)
• [x] Bounce back ease-out
• [x] Small but fast swipes should switch workspace
• [ ] Configurables
  • [x] Threshold
  • [ ] Speed. The default probably needs some refinement as well
  • [ ] Needed speed
  • [x] wrap around workspaces
  • [x] Bounce back size in px (scaled)

To test:

bindworkspacegesture 4:horizontal
# bindworkspacegesture --inverted 4:horizontal
# bindworkspacegesture 4:vertical
# bindworkspacegesture --inverted 4:vertical

Will respond to the implementation notes today when I take a deeper look! Great stuff Erik! I can probably get this working as an animation in an evening once it's in

Mind linking this PR to the issue for touchpad gestures? This should fix #142

Just to mention, nix build seems to be broken:

Might have an idea of how to improve the config command syntax. Converting to draft

Maybe something like this:

bindgesture --invert fluid_swipe:3:horizontal workspace_switch

Looks good to me!

I'll wait with refining this until the sway 1.9 rebase is merged :)

[swwwee]

the rebase has rebased (adding comment to see progress in future)

also commenting for the same reason.

Y'all don't need to comment here to get notifications, just creates spam. The right side panel has a button for notifications :)
