How to LockedDrags when using 3 finger drag?

Thanks for your project!

When dragging for long distance , I have to drag more times. So, how to add feature for LockedDrags and LockedDragTimeout.

BTW, can I set drag speed or enable pointer acceleration when using 3-finger drag?

Thanks so much!

3-finger tap

3-finger drag works great, thank you! I'm using it with XFCE's "move window" shortcut in Window Manager settings, which allows me to do 3 window drag with the pointer ANYWHERE in the window, not just the title bar!
gesture swipebegin all 3 xdotool key alt+F7
gesture swipeend all 3 xdotool key alt+F7
gesture swipeupdate all 3 xdotool mousemove_relative -- x y
Very happy with this!

Is there a way or can you implement a way to do 3-finger tap for middle-click (paste) ?
With touchegg I used to do: gesture type="TAP" fingers="3" direction="", action type="MOUSE_CLICK">BUTTON=2
Looking for something similar here.
Could you add 3fingertap and 4fingertap gestures so we can call xdotool with them ?
Thank you!

3FD not triggered for slow movements

Slow three-finger movements are registered as GESTURE_PINCH and aren't used for 3-finger-drag. I think we just need to replicate the swipebegin / update / end hooks for pinch to get around this.

Don't recreate cursor movements in 3FD

Currently libinput eats cursor movements during gestures, so our 3-finger-drag technique recreates them using xdotool. This causes CPU usage to spike, bypasses pointer acceleration, and is generally an inferior experience. A better approach would be to allow cursor movement during gestures while still triggering mousedown / up at gesture beginning / end.

I'm not sure how to do this.

3 fingr drag in chrome

@daveriedstra I having trouble copying text selected with a 3 finger scroll.

• I am using gnome with xorg
• I am using 2 finger scrolling from the gnome settings also
• without libgestures, I could tap with two fingers and see the menu in chrome which let me copy text show up
• I can select text in chrome with 3 fingers. This is from your repo

However the issue is after selecting the text it, the browser somehow goes back to the previous page.

gesture swipebegin all 3 xdotool mousedown 1
gesture swipeend all 3 xdotool mouseup 1
gesture swipeupdate all 3 xdotool mousemove_relative -- x y

Add delay timeout for three finger gesture (like on OSX)

Is it possible to setup some timeout before tree finger drag gesture end, like tap and drag timeout in libinput (in KDE it work fine)
