<![CDATA[Touchpad Users/Experts: What gestures and corresponding functions do you want in Lomiri/Ubuntu Touch?]]>First and foremost, no I'm not implementing proper touchpad support in Lomiri. Mainly because I don't know how 😅
I initially thought QML has a module or component for it but turns out there's none. I guess touchpads aren't as standardized as mouse?

Anyway, I'm actually experimenting with the virtual touchpad instead since it'll be much easier for my skill level. However, I'm not exactly a touchpad user (on my Steam Controller yes LOL). I rarely use a laptop and when I do, I use an external mouse. So I don't really know what's expected from it especially the modern ones.

Here's a video showcasing the gestures I experimented with.

Basically, I tried to mimic the current touchscreen gestures in Lomiri but not sure if they would actually be useful. I'm thinking, it's nice to move and resize windows with a gesture but it might be better to be able to quickly open the drawer or switch between apps using the 3-finger gestures instead.

Unlike most of my experiments, I'm confident that I can actually propose this to upstream Lomiri since it doesn't really need skills that I don't have. So I would like to ask for people's opinion on this and maybe this would be basis once proper touchpad support were implemented.

One last thing, you may suggest pinch to zoom and such and although that's cool, Samsung DeX has it, but I don't know how to implement that LOL
I'm talking more on simple swipe and taps that 😄

Thanks!

I rarely use middle click though 😄

It is about gestures on the virtual trackpad that the device becomes when it is connected to a screen wirelessly via Miracast.

I would be happy getting back my "double-tap-to-wake" gesture to wake up the screen in my pixel 3a xl. Sadly this gesture was removed some time ago due to problems with some phones...
I am still dreaming of this gesture...😃
