Delay between Swipes

[JP-Ellis]

For most uses of swipes that I know of, only a single swipe is desired. Currently, many swipes tend to activate in a row. For example, I have swipes left and right which switch between workspaces; however, multiple swipes are frequently registered causing me to skip over workspaces.

Would it be possible to implement a delay beween swipes? So that if a swipe is registered, a (configurable) 200ms have to pass before the next swipe can be triggered?

There is no way to block further clicks. It works identically to scrolling as it's the same gesture with more fingers. You could try increasing SwipeDistance.

SwipeDistance would have the desired effect if my swipes were consistently the same distance; however, I have tried various settings and what works one day will result in me skipping workspaces or me wondering why the workspace hasn't changed on the next day.

I am also curious as to how it is impossible to block further swipes (not any input...). I would have thought something like

if time - last_swipe_time > cfg->swipeInterval { 
    last_swipe_time = now();
    return swipe;
}

should do the trick.

Of course it's not impossible. It is just preferable to solve issues without a code change when possible.

That said you seem to have a solid grasp of how you'd like this implemented and I'm always willing to review and merge a pull request. I simply don't have the time to implement this at the moment.

@JP-Ellis can you share your config for workspace switch via swipe?
