Implement Windows Precision Touchpad support for Simple Window Switcher #516
Comments
Hi Well, I don't know exactly on what version you are. If you upgrade to the latest pre-release (at least 40.5), the window switcher that gets invoked when using gestures based on what you set in Properties is:
The reason for the last 2 decisions is complicated. I will describe below what information I have on this matter. I am assuming we are talking about Windows Precision Touchpads here. Firstly, the way gestures invoke the window switcher is via some internal, undocumented mechanism, not by simulating an Naturally, neither the Windows NT switcher, which is a legacy component hosted directly in the user space keyboard filter, in To solve that up, there isn't an easy fix:
So yeah, that's the story of this. To mitigate this in the mean time, regarding gestures for the Windows NT and Simple Window Switcher, I included some code that just shows the Windows 11 window switcher when doing a gesture with the Windows NT switcher enabled, or the Windows 10 switcher when doing a gesture with the Simple Window Switcher enabled. For the moment, it works, although, yeah, ideally, the Simple Window Switcher should be activatable and navigatable using touchpad gestures. Of course, a contribution in this area would be more than great. Each and very day I realize how much work is actually needed in actually shipping an operating system and its interface. The more I learn stuff, the more I feel that I know so few and that there's so much unknown out there... tl;dr This is a hard one to properly fix. |

Hi there! I was testing some trackpad gestures when I noticed that swiping left/right with 3 fingers still brings up the windows 11 activity switcher, even though the window switcher is set to windows 10
