I came with a question: is it possible to add more config options to this driver or are we limited by windows settings? I'd like to add 3 finger dragging to trigger button down on start and and button up when drag finish. This way I could record some gestures and map them to actions with external soft like strokesplus.
On linux I achieved this by modifying driver code, here's my repo: https://github.com/p2rkw/xf86-input-mtrack
Is it even possible to extend this driver like that, or is it out of scope of this driver. Where should I start to get this done?
Also is it possible to remap 2 finger tap into other button (swap 2 finger and 3 finger tap buttons)
Describe the solution you'd like if (3 fingers on the pad && any motion) then trigger button down if (button is down and 3 fingers of the pad) then trigger button up, end gesture
Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. None so far, Im new to windows.
Additional context On on my dell xps linux I use my modified driver which trigger whatever button I configure, then use easystroke to map gesture to actions/keyboard strokes. So whatever I do 3 finger drag gesture it triggers configured button down event, then this event is also configured in easystroke as a gesture start/end trigger. This allows any 3 finger motion to be captured by easystroke and mapped to keypress/window event. This setup works really well on linux, now I wonder can we have it on widows.
Both of these ideas are excellent.
I live for 3 fingers drag. Will try this. Thanks so much!
Also seems to be the only thing I need extra for this awesome project. 🙌
Totally agree, this is the only missing peace.
Thanks for the support guys. It seems the problem is Windows that does NOT have the option. I am about to sell my PC and go back to Mac. Cheers
@p2rkw Did you find a solution to this? 3-finger drag would make this perfect.
Best of luck guys. I am back on a Mac... I can't live without 3 fingers dragging anymore.
