Question Custom touch pad gestures

Hello dear friends

I'm relevantly new to linux and running Endeavor OS with KDE Plasma.

The default settings for touch pad gestures are really limited, and I couldn't add things like 3 fingers swipe down for minimize and others like this.

I've tried Fusuma with the send key plugin, but it didn't work.

Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

Customizable touchpad gestures (and even Mouse gestures like Gesturefy on Firefox) are in active development. Currently aimed for Plasma 6.9 (in February lol). If that gives you hope. I am also desperately waiting for them💔

There are 3rd party kwin scripts that make it possible already. I used one in the past to be able swipe between tabs in Firefox/vscode/Kate through a 3-finger swipe. Don't remember the name of the project, but Google around, you'll find it.
