activate menu with gesture

Open tronta opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

The extensions is great, however I use it often as I do not like keyboards shortcuts for its activation, which is a petty. So my question is, if there /could be the possibility to activate by a multi finger gesture eg. touch 4 fingers on touch pad or touch screen? so a workflow could look like this:

  • 4 finger touch pad --> menu appears
  • move 4 fingers in to select the relevant entries

I accomplished launching Gnome-Pie by using fusuma to define touchpad gestures that get mapped to keyboard hotkeys. For the touch screen I use Touchegg.

It is possible your desktop environment already has support for defining gestures, so you might not need these.

I personally didn't map gestures for selecting the pie entries - I was content with tapping on them, but you definitely could accomplish that as well, since Gnome-Pie takes keyboard input IIRC.
