Enable scrolling with a Laptop Touchpad at the Screen Edge

Describe the solution you'd like

Volume2 allows you to control the volume by scrolling the mouse wheel at the edge of the screen. It's not possible to use this feature with a laptop because it doesn't work when you're scrolling with a touchpad. It only works with a USB mouse and a scroll wheel. It would be cool if Volume2 also supported laptop touchpads. Could you think about adding touchpad support for this feature?

Try to use zoom gesture on your touchpad. It works for me on my HP laptop

Thanks, it really works. That's nice to know. But I would still prefer scrolling because it's much easier and more intuitive than zooming with a touchpad.

And there's another problem. The zoom gesture doesn't work when my browser window is maximized. It will zoom the website instead of controlling the volume. When I'm using my laptop, I'm in a browser 90% of the time, so the zoom gesture is basically useless because it doesn't work in this situation.

I don't like the decision that the application takes precedence before Volume2 when using the zoom gesture. I think Volume2 should take precedence before any application that implements the same gesture because that's also how Volume2 behaves when using the scroll wheel.
