This program tries to emulate windows 10 Touchpad Gestures.
This program reads the touchpad event file and simulates the actions.
Each touchpad gestures triggers the keypress which is given below. You can change the default behaviour of the action in the distro keyboard shortcut settings.
- xdotool (can be installed using the command
sudo apt install xdotoolin ubuntu)
For now this proram has to be compiled using gcc(gcc main.c)and run with admin privilage.
As it matures I will convert it into a kernel module.
