The title says it. There seems to be no effect on trackpad gestures on the Dell XPS 9560 with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
3 finger up gesture when maximised
The 3 finger up gesture when the focused window is maximised could be used to full-screen the application window.
Up to now the gesture shows a transparent red box.
This design would be intuitive as as user would 3 finger swipe up an application to maximise the window and repeating the 3 finger up could then maximise the application window to full-screen mode
3 finger down gesture when floating
The 3 finger down gesture when the focused window is floating could be used to minimise the application window.
Up to now the gesture shows a transparent red box.
This design would be intuitive as as user would 3 finger swipe down an application to remove it from being maximised and repeating the 3 finger down gesture could then minimise the application window to be hidden off screen
As of now, there is a little bit of a stutter/grab when attempting to move an unmaximized window to the left/right. I understand your logic in wanting to have a user hold the gesture before allowing left/right tiling.
My suggestion as an alternative would be to detect if a user is swiping down with multiple fingers on an unmaximized window and immediately interpret this as the user wanting to tile it left or right rather than having a delay/pause. I think this would work since as of now there is no gesture associated with multi-swipes down on an unmaximized window.
Currently, the gesture settings app let user set Window Manipulation (TIle, Maximize, MInimize, etc) without asking for turning on 4-finger gesture for overview navigation.
The problem here being Window Manipulation is 3-finger Vertical direction gesture, which means until the default Overview Navigation gesture which uses 3-finger Vertical gesture is not overrided by extension managed 4-finger Overview navigation gesture, the setting is fruitless.
This can be user interface enhancement to let user know what is required for what they want to achieve.
If we want only one type of gesture to be enabled (like 4 finger swipe) and want all other disabled, there is no option to do so. if the option was there to disable window stacking and others, it would be very useful.
Options to be added for https://github.com/harshadgavali/gnome-gesture-improvements#gestures-including-built-in-ones
Ubuntu 21.10, X. I did installed the daemon (via sh install.sh --restart, systemctl --user status gesture_improvements_gesture_daemon.service reported it as Active), then installed the extension. And this is the settings window that I get: https://i.imgur.com/ULBlDNI.png
Seems like the app gesture tab is missing, no? Or is it me, who's missing something? :)
The default gestures are bind to 3 fingers and this extension allows four finger gestures as well.
I would like to ask you to consider simply adding a function, toggle or whatever to bind the default standard gestures to 4 fingers.
In addition, add 3-finger gestures that allow to go to prev/next page in (examples) Firefox, Evince document viewer, media player (ffw/rewind or prev/next song).
This way, you can always perform the 4 finger gestures, and at the same time enable the use of 3 fingers in your browser as well to go back one page or forward.
You could easily do 3 finger gesture to go back in Firefox and immediately 4 finger gesture to switch/overview/grid desktop/applications.
HI, I use your extension for a few days and I have some question or idea of improvement.
First when I use "Snap/half-tile a window, " it's only working on unmaximized but can you do it for maximized windows?
And can we bind shortcut or action to a gesture? If I want for example close window use shortcut "Alt+F4".
And can you add actions to lock computer with 4 or 3 fingers down? Before using this extension I have an extension who does this, but it's old now.
And you have done a nice work, continue like this I love it!!
I find this extension very intriguing but, in my case, I only use the extension for changing the swipe speed (I think the pinch gestures aren't really working on my old laptop, oops). That said, I can certainly see the potential of it, and will look into it more, once I get a laptop with a better touchpad.
However, I believe there should be an option to enable/disable the downward (or upward, if you toggle "revert direction") gesture to open the app grid. Don't see why it wouldn't be included.
Nonetheless, thank you!
First of all this extension is awesome and need more stars ⭐
I read on the readme the apps are configurable and also there is a mention of browser tab switching 🤔
I activated the option of app having customized options when holding and then witch but the only thing I'm getting is the browser history with three fingers.
I'm wondering how I can enable also tab switching on two fingers?
Thanks in advance for your help 😉
Would be a nice option to switch 3-fingers to control workspace and 4-fingers to control window manipulation.
Hello, could you please test this with GNOME Shell version 42 and publish the extension for it? I want to begin using testing GNOME 42, but cannot work efficiently without this extension, so I want to ensure it won't break.
Thanks for a cool extension!
Proposal: there are gestures listed in GUI, like 4-finger swipe left/right, 3-finder swipe, 4-finger pinch, 3 finger swipe from the edge of touchpad etc. User can bind them to either a built-in behavior (tracking finger positions) like workspace/window switching, tiling etc or to a keybinding to be triggered (probably the best option for both shell and applications' actions).
I would love to have an option for three figure gestures left/right to be forward/back in browsers and other windows. I personally have it follow natural scrolling (swiping right goes back, swiping left goes forward), but I imagine others would like to have a toggle to switch between natural scrolling too.
An option to select gestures for three finger gestures (selecting window switching, or forward/back) would be great! Selecting gestures for 4 finger gestures too may be nice if other users would like that too.
the gesture_improvements_gesture_daemon.service daemon works fine on starting by user.
now this gnome extension get failed.
I enabled it as using gnome-extensions enable gestureImprovements@gestures
But there was going to be disabled always.
I run Gnome 41.1 on X11 on Fedora 35 latest updated.
Hello!
I would like to know if it would be possible to introduce 3 or 4 fingers pinch-out gesture to quickly close the application.
Currently I'm using your extension to Tile/Maximize applications. A quick way to close an app would be perfect to completely ditch the need to move the cursor towards the close button :).
PS: Thank you for your awesome work, I really enjoy using your software :).
While I am a big fan of the (Touchegg-inspired, I assume?) window close animation, I think it could look better
it would be nice if i can swipe with 4 fingers up and down to control volume, left and right to skip tracks , and 4 finger tap to play/pause.
like in windows10/11 (i don't like them either but they've done this right)
ie - the equivalent of ctrl-tab / ctrl-shift-tab
Is this possible as an option (ie - override horizontal scroll)? Would be very useful for me as horizontal scroll is rarely used.
Hi,

Feature request: In the future, I think it might be useful to be able to map 5 finger gestures as well.
I read other feature requests here and specifically about swiping for going forward/backward in e.g. browsers (#23). If that gets implemented I think maybe it would make sense to use 5 finger gestures as well.
What I have in mind right now for settings I think would work well:
2 finger gestures: handled by underlying system and not changed by gesture improvements.
3 finger swipes: actions within a window (mostly backwards a page/forwards a page in web- and file-browsers)
4 finger swipes: window movements/tiling and window switching
5 finger swipes: workspace switching and overview navigation.
Thanks for this very useful extension!
Hello.
Can you please add optional integration to Coverflow extension?
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/97/coverflow-alt-tab/
Thanx.
On Android and iOS, swiping up shows the App Drawer (Android)/Homescreen-with-all-apps (iOS).
With Gnome Gesture Improvements, swiping down shows App Grid, which for most people can be recognised as the App Drawer/homescreen-with-all-apps of their phone and tablet.
Would it be possible to change (or allow us to change) the order of the gesture?
Currently:
Swipe up once: Overview
Swipe up twice: Appgrid
Swipe down: immediately Appgrid (skipping Overview)
Request:
Swipe up: immediately Appgrid (skipping Overview)
Swipe down once: Overview
Swipe down twice: Appgrid
It has been a while since I used a Macbook (2019) but I believe swiping down once = Overview as well.
Just to prevent users from having to adapt their behavior and have similar/common gestures across platforms.
In some cases (such as if a user is using an extension or if an app is maximized) the top panel may not be visible. This causes issues on visualizing where the window will transition to in blue.
The 3 finger down gesture when the focused window is not maximized could be used to show the desktop.
Up to now the gesture shows a transparent red box doing nothing.
Instead when the current window is already maximized the 3 finger up gesture could show the overview.
And in the same way when the desktop is shown, the 3 finger gesture could bring back the latest focused application or it could show the overview (maybe the former with the up gesture and the latter with the down gesture).
I would like to be able to disable the gesture that lets you access the applications grid directly by swiping down because it doesn't feel natural to me, and sometimes app windows aren't displayed in the right size during the transition.
Thanks for this amazing extension, btw!!
Would it make sense to allow any implemented action with any implemented gesture? I mean, from using perspective it makes not much difference, whether to swipe or to pinch for maximizing and minimizing windows. I usually also have 3-finger-swipe-down instead of pinch for closing current window. So pinch and swipe both have 2 directions and some kind of progress. And it also doesn't matter, whether to use 3 or 4 fingers.
I know, this will need huge refactorings which will break everything. But after this I expect new gestures and new actions being added more easily without breaking existing source code or existing settings configuration.
And as I said above: from user perspective it makes sense. What do you think?
I cant use de half-tile gesture, when a used make the animation but dont set the wndows in tile, just change the workspace, if i tile to the left, change to the left workspace, if i do it to the right, same, just change workspace to the right.
I am currently trying this on ubuntu 21.04 wayland with gnome-shell 40.5 and I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong.
The main reason I wanted to use this extension was to have the history back-forward functionality with a horizontal swipe on my touchpad.
After installing the extension I can change the basic swipe settings but cannot add Application specific ones. I am wondering what I am doing wrong here.
This extension doesn't respect the "natural scrolling" toggle from the Gnome settings.
It would be good to respect that.
After swiping up with three fingers, the exit to the overview is triggered, after which the gestures are not recognized and the daemon process begins to intensively use the CPU
Before these packages were updated, there was no such reaction. Although maybe they have nothing to do with

So cool to see application specific gestures, it really takes gestures on GNOME to another level! As of now the hold functionality to enable the application gesture works but is fairly slow and the threshold for the hold is difficult to determine (I often will alt-tab which I just mean to go backwards on Firefox).
I'm thinking it may be useful for some alternative method of activating these gestures. One possibility is a trigger key that when held will default to the application's gestures. Another option is totally overriding the global gestures when the application window is focused.
I think this would also entail letting the user's configure which gesture maps to the applications function. Really excited to see the development of this!
Hi there,
I'm on PopOS 22.04 which has kept the vertical workspace design.
I can switch workspace with 4 fingers up-down.
My suggestion would be to disable all the setting related to 4 fingers up/down movements and "3-fingers up to open overview" as well, as Pop uses its own app launcher grid thing
Many Gnome extensions are also available in the Arch User Repository (not a distribution repository).
The benefit for users of Arch based distributions such as Manjaro: you can easily find and install your extension in 1 single location: the 'app store', for example on Manjaro the "Add/Remove programs" or Pamac tool, which allows you to discover, install and update system packages, apps in the official repository and AUR packages (even Flatpak can be enabled).
Another major benefit is that the extension will be updated by the system together with system and other app updates.
Currently, there are a few other old and outdated gesture extensions available when a user searches for it, as AUR. It would be a lot easier to discover your extension + keep it updated if it was available as AUR.

Hi,
First thank you for your module that add nice modifications to gnome gesture.
I get few issues with my 2-1 laptop that has a touchscreen and act as a touchpad. I don't know if it will be possible to ass some improvement to your module to make it work without any issue with touchscreen.
Here is what i get:
I hope that my explanations are ok and that it will be possible to work on this.

Bug Summary: After using FOUR finger vertical swipe (Extension: Gesture Improvements) for window maximize and unmaximize, THREE finger gestures do not happen. Three finger gestures are replaced by either of these:
a) mouse pointer movement
b) scrolling in the open window
c) Zoom-in or zoom-out in the open window
Install Debian 11 (bullseye)
Install gnome-shell from the experimental repo ( apt-get -t experimental install gnome-shell gnome-backgrounds gnome-applets gnome-control-center mutter gjs )
Install Extension Gesture Improvements ( https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4245/gesture-improvements/ )
Enable FOUR Finger Gestures via the aforementioned installed extension.
Open multiple windows ( Example: nautilus, terminal, kate, etc. )
Use FOUR finger vertical swipe gesture for window maximize and unmaximize.
Try Three Finger Gestures.
THREE finger gestures did not happen. Three finger gestures are replaced by either of these:
a) mouse pointer movement
b) scrolling in the open window

As the title says . I think this would be a great addition to an already great extension. I would love to help and contribute, unfortunately I don't know anything about how gestures work in Gnome. Sorry if this is not the correct place to post about this.
It would be very helpful if we could "grab" the current window (by holding shift for instance) and then do the gesture to switch workspace to move the current window with us to the other workspace.
I have an idea to improve how module works.
First it seems that it's only possible to switch between 2 windows. If we want to change to a third window (or move between all windows) we need to activate the alt+tab menu. Would it be possible to switch between all windows with multiple swipes ?
I also found a gnome extension that modify alt+tab behaviour that would perfectly fit with your extension: https://github.com/dmo60/CoverflowAltTab However when it install it, this extension works well with alt+tab buttons but not with your swipes. (I don't know if the modifications need to be done on your module or CoverflowAltTab module)

The extension is so great. Thank you for this!
But it would have been great if you can add an option for a two-finger pinch to zoom just like in windows. Not like Ctrl+Plus but zoom as in Windows, This will be useful for someone like me who like to zoom the contents in a browser, images, and so on.
Also, It would have been great if there was an option to remove the cyclic nature of three-finger swipe gestures.
Hello,
I installed this extension and everything worked perfectly except the pinching gestures. I can't show desktop (minimize all windows) by pinching, either with 3 or 4 fingers. I'm using Ubuntu 21.10 with Wayland on a T495s Thinkpad. How can I fix this problem?
This might be out of the scope of this extension but I had always imagined it would be cool to incorporate a three-finger touch to drag windows when the cursor is hovered over the windows title bar.
This project might have some insights?
Affected OS: Manjaro - Gnome
Gnome Version: 41.1
Session Type: Wayland
Enabled/Disabled Settings
Window switching: enabled
4-finger gestures for workspace switching: enabled or disabled does not affect bug behaviour
4-finger gestures for overview navigation: enabled or disabled does not affect bug behaviour
Observed Behaviour
When gesturing horizontally to switch between windows, it only switches between the last 2 windows that have been active instead of all open windows. It doesn't seem to matter whether 4-finger gestures for workspace switching is enabled or not. If it is, then a 3 finger horizontal swipe switches between the last 2 active windows. If it is not enabled then a 4 finger horizontal swipe switches between the last 2 active windows.
Activating different windows using the touchpad/mouse by clicking on them then seems to reset which were the last 2 activated windows and using the horizontal swipe to switch between windows will again only switch between the last 2 activated windows.
Thank you very much for this very helpful extension!

On Manjaro, I discovered I can install this extension through AUR (Arch User Repository), either via "Install/Remove Programs", which is Pamac, or via bash: sudo pamac install --no-confirm gnome-gesture-improvements.
AUR stuff is auto updated by Pamac.
I am just wondering what the best way is to install this extension in such a way, it will be automatically updated?
I am not sure how the AUR version of this extension is updated, if it is linked to your repository (but you have no /releases) or if someone takes care of this manually, in which case I am dependent on that person to update the AUR version whenever you release a new version.
Hello,
i recently stumbled upon the Tiling Assistant extension and I am wondering if this could be supported by the tiling functionality as well.
So additionally to 3-finger down and then left right, tiling would also support right/left-top/bottom.
I do not know if libinput can differentiate between 3 finger left and left-down swipe though.
Hi @harshadgavali!
First of all thank you for this great extension.
I wanted to know if it would be possible to add the option of enabling 4-fingers gestures without overriding 3-finger ones.
What I mean is that, when enabling 4-finger gestures for overview navigation and workspace switching, they do not disable 3-finger gestures for the same actions, but instead work parallely to those.
I have some reasons for this. First of all my laptop doesn't probably have such a sensitive touchpad. This means that doing 3 and 4 fingers gestures sometimes gets confused by the computer, so for example, instead of going into overview I get maximising gesture. If I disable 3-fingers gestures completely sometimes the 4-finger ones simply don't get recognised, it is not so immediate.
Secondly, I find that 3 or 4 finger gestures much depend on the position of my hand and size of the touchpad, so sometimes I find it more confortable to do a 3-fingers one, and other times a 4-finger one.
Thirdly, having gestures for maximising windows is surely convenient, but to me it's more important to have a very good working gesture for overview and workspace switching. And this option might be useful for people like me who doesn't have a super-sensitive or new generation touchpad.
I hope it is possible and not complicated to implement.
Anyway, thank you so much again!
Hi! First of all thank you very much for this extension! It works really well and makes me appreciate trackpad gestures on a whole other level. 😊
I have noticed a bit of a problem with app gestures, however: I prefer to keep Natural Scrolling off, but while I can turn that setting off for the gestures within the Shell, the app gestures still are reversed, so I would have to add every single app and check the "Reverse" option for it, which I think isn't good UX.
On top of that, when the app specific gestures are reversed, the arrows for the back / forward gesture appear on the wrong side of the screen, so that's also not very ideal, because they don't match the performed action.
Thank you for your time! 👍
