Feature Easy and quick way to undo changes just with your fingers on the canvas

Problem
Currently it's hard to constantly undo your changes by either aiming and tapping the undo button, or some button on your pen, when you have your fingers at ready anywhere on the canvas

Describe the solution you'd like
My proposed solution to this is to follow what the many of other art drawing software does, which is to implement two finger tap undo anywhere on the canvas i.e. https://folio.procreate.com/discussions/4/10/28142

Describe alternatives you've considered
Other solutions I could think of are other type of gestures on the canvas, perhaps a three finger tap, or swipe from either side of the canvas. The downsides I can think of these alternatives is that I don't think they're as popular in other art drawing software.

There is already a two finger long press gesture (although it's for some reason not really reliable or works for some but not other ?) but it can't be bound to the undo.

Not sure it's currently possible to do a two tap gesture that's reliable ... So maybe the actions can be extended (so that in addition to tools undo is available)

That would be definitely an improvement - add ability to choose actions for for that setting, if it's not technically possible to do a short two tap gesture. I wonder about that technical limitation though, does GTK not provide ability to detect two finger short tap, but it does allow to watch for two finger long tap?

This app is amazing. How is this not a thing yet?
