Trackpad Gestures #38237

Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Introduce new gestures that can be different per application, like pinch with three fingers to copy or expand with three fingers to paste.

Scenario when this would be used?

It could be used generally throughout the OS. Changing volume, brightness gestures and many more. There could be different gestures combinations even with keys (however not being a software engineer, i have no idea who difficult this could be with all the different trackpads that exist)

Supporting information

There could be many different and creative gestures. Swiping diagonaly with 2 fingers, swiping on the edges of the trackpad, three finger zoom unzoom, swiping from left to right in different apps to go back (not all apps support it) or from right to left to go forward. Maybe "shake" (swipe randomly) to undo. There are so many possibilities and would make the trackpads in window laptops far more useful
