Two finger swipe (left) in windows is back button. Any way to implement it in linux?(fedora-gnome)

I'm talking about trackpad gestures the same way swipe from ends work as go back in android. Windows had a back gesture (3 finger swipe in gnome swaps workspaces) [Solved]

This works for me out of the box on KDE with Firefox, but it has to be the Wayland session. It's not implemented for X11.

GNOME should use Wayland by default and I don't expect it to work differently, but maybe this gives you some hints...

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

It works for me on i3 which is an X11 wm but I think it's only firefox.

[-] thurstylark@lemm.ee 9 points 5 months ago

Chromium and its descendants also do this, but yes, that's implemented by the browser itself.

Support for global touch gestures is dependent on the DE's feature set.

[-] covert_czar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

What should i install? Or use

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Sounds like it works in firefox by default. If it working in other apps is a requirement look for a de that supports it globally. Or perhaps find an app that does it. Honestly does seem like something that could be done a driver from my very limited driver knowledge.

Make a meme telling "this is literally impossible I am switching back to ChromeOS" and you will get all the answers

Less likely to get RTFM from people who remember what it's like to love a computer not obsess over it I suppose

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 months ago

Or to use a computer and not take care of it as if it was a fing tamagochi

That's just going to result in "beats me"

Thanks. TIL best to ask Linux questions in meme groups for fast, reliable and free support.

[-] olutukko@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

asking in support group can lead to some annoying answers in my experience. I rarely get the answer I want, mostly just people questioning why I want to do the thing I'm trying to do in the first place, or mansplaining the thing that I already know. the straight to the point -answers are rare

It was setup that way out of the box for me

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 8 points 5 months ago

Just tested it after never using it before, it works for me by default on Firefox on GNOME using Wayland on Manjaro.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 months ago

Yes but I guess they mean everywhere?

[-] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 1 points 5 months ago

I don't think most desktop OS has a consistent back button that the OS can hook into?

Always make a statement in opposition to the question you want asked. I think Ubuntu is the best distro for web development.

[-] palordrolap@kbin.social 4 points 5 months ago

Nah. Notepad in Windows. Definitely.

Notepad++

Fucking pleb....

[-] Gormadt 2 points 5 months ago

NGL Notepad++ has been my jam for over a decade

Emacs is the only OS you'll ever need fight me

[-] bitwaba@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I would, but I'm stuck inside vim accidentally and don't know how to exit

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago

That is single most annoying and useful feature ever implemented into a track pad.

Where is ADHS/neurodivergent/autistic meme community?

Have some questions 🌚

You’re already here.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

adhdmemes@lemmy.world

pretty much every community I've seen on blahaj.net seems to have some neurodivergent content.

There's also:

adhd@lemmy.world

adhdwomen@lemmy.world

autisticandadhd@lemmy.world

autism@lemmy.world

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

😂it was a joke, I’m already in all of those

Maybe better use /s.. ->🌚 seems not be known that much

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

Nope, never seen that emoji in my life! Sorry friend.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 3 points 5 months ago

What's the best distro for a dumbass to use?

[-] Takios@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 5 months ago
[-] olutukko@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

anything with a large user base and easy installer. but since I use fedora I must say, fedora

Slackware. You are either a dumbass for trying it or it will cure you of being a dumbass.

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

i guess it's application specific, i can go back in history in firefox

[-] covert_czar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago
[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago

in firefox(wayland) i wipe left to right and in go back

[-] pruneaue@infosec.pub 3 points 5 months ago

Its the default behaviour for firefox. Normally you have to disable with by tweaking browser.gesture.swipe.left/right in about:config

[-] covert_czar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

Browser:BackOrBackDuplicate But how it triggers?
