FingerSwipe v1.2.0 — Custom 4-Finger Tap Launcher & Visual Settings GUI

FingerSwipe v1.2.0 brings custom 4-finger tap shortcuts, an intuitive GTK desktop GUI interface, instant live configuration hot-reloading, persistent touchpad tap gestures that stay reliable after reboots, and official signed APT repository support for Linux.

What's New in v1.2.0

  • Custom 4-Finger Tap Launcher: Tap your touchpad with 4 fingers to instantly open your favorite Web Browser, Terminal, File Manager, or Application Launcher — or open the system Start Menu.
  • Visual Settings GUI (fingerswipe gui): Customize swipe axes, volume/brightness step sizes, motion curves, and 4-finger tap shortcuts from a desktop GUI interface with a visual configuration progress bar.
  • Instant Configuration Hot-Reloading: Settings saved in the GUI take effect within 0.5 seconds without requiring service restarts or manual reloads.
  • Reliable Reboot Persistence: Virtual key bindings ensure 4-finger touchpad tap gestures and Start Menu triggers stay reliable across system reboots.
  • Official Signed APT Repository & Package Upgrades: Install and update FingerSwipe effortlessly on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Debian, and all major Linux distributions via our signed APT repository, .deb package, or universal archive.
