Yes, I'm working in this feature, if you check the svn, you can see the current 
code with some features like Tap&Hold or a SendKeys action.

I'm working in it now. It will allow you to make the key combination to active 
the compiz effects.

When I finish it I'll release a 0.2 version (the GUI for configure 
gestures/actions should delay one version...)

Thanks for the suggestion! Please, if you think something else, say me, I 
haven't got more ideas now xD

Greetings!

Great!!! Good to know you are already doing it.

I have just discovered your project and, because I'm not at my Ubuntu netbook', 
I could not test it yet... But I'll test it when I come back home tonight... :-)

Another thing: If you want, I could help you to translate your software to 
Portuguese (I'm from São Paulo).

And BTW thanks for replying so quickly.

Ok! Currently it haven't got any to translate, but the GUI will have text. When 
I release it will contact with you.

Thanks!

One more question: does touchégg work under Ubuntu 10.04?

I didn't upgrade to 10.10 yet... (and maybe I'll skip it... :-)

Touchégg depends of uTouch libs... And I think that Ubuntu 10.04 not support 
it :(

Added ;)

I have problems to make work the SEND_KEYS action, it works fine, but 
Kwin/Compiz (really kglobalaccel) not interprets it well and the desktop 
effects don't work.

For example, if you assing the expose effect to the 'A' key, if you press the 
'A' key with kate/gedit opened, it don't print 'A', in place, the expose effect 
is activated.
If you use Touchégg send keys action, the 'A' letter is printed and expose 
isn't activated.

But with the RUN_COMMAND action (new action avaliable for next version) you can 
send a dbus message for usae Kwin/Compiz effects. For example, to expose in 
kwin, run this command

$ qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut Expose

Is little nasty, but for the moment it works

Greetings!

Hi,

I was wondering: Does SEND_KEYS support a combination of keys? (ie. Super + W, 
that BTW is the default 'Scale' key binding on Ubuntu)
If the answer is 'YES', we could assign this combination of keys to an action 
to make it call the 'Exposé' effect...

Another thing: You provided the command to run under KDE; what about GNOME? Is 
there a command to send a dbus message to Compiz through GNOME?

Thanks in advance.

Salu2

Yes, it have support, but the problem is, as I say you, that the keys aren't 
well recognised and the effects are not activated:

Of course! You can send messages to compiz:

Sorry for bugging you like this... :-p

...but I need to ask you one basic thing: where can I find the file in which 
the actions are assigned to touchégg?

In the video it seems you are editing ~/.touchegg but this file was not created 
when I installed and executed touchegg... May I create it manually? Or it's 
somewhere else?

Thanks

PS: BTW, I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10, so I was able to install utouch-geis 
and touchegg... and now I'm trying to play with it...

Arranged!! Now you can assign a shortcut and active Kwin or Compiz effects 
easily.

Developers info :P
I can solve it with XTest extension
