GESTURE CONFIGURATOR Touché
Version: 2.0.9 Web: https://github. com/JoseExposito/touche
If you use a laptop or touchscreen, you can increase your productivity by installing
Touché. It’s a multi-touch gesture configurator that helps you use the touchpad more efficiently.
Touché is basically a graphical wrapper around the
Touchégg utility, which runs in the background and does all the heavy lifting. So, before you install Touché you need to grab Touchégg.
The good thing is it’s probably already installed on your distro if you use recent versions of Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Elementary OS or Zorin OS. It is also available in the official repos of some distros, such as Fedora, and can be installed with sudo dnf install touchegg .
Ubuntu users must grab it via its official PPA:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:touchegg/stable $ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install touchegg
Next, grab Touché as a Flatpak with flatpak install flathub com.github.joseexposito.touche .
While you can use Touché on any desktop environment, if you’re using the Gnome desktop, you should also install the X11 Gestures Gnome Shell extension (https://github.com/JoseExposito/gnomeshell-extension-x11gestures).
The app has a straightforward interface. At the top you have three tabs to control the gestures for swipe, pinch and taps. Note, however, that tap gestures are only available on touchscreens. On the left you have the option to define these gestures globally, as well as per individual application.
By default, Touché lists a couple of apps, but you can use the + button to add any open application.
Defining the gestures is pretty straightforward as well. By default, the app enables certain gestures. To define a custom action, scroll down the list of gestures and use the pull-down menu to select from one of the predefined actions.
