Yes , but the problem is , libinputgestures can ' t receive input strokes directly when inside Wayland . It says as much in the GitHub repo . I can kinda squint and imagine that it works inside XWayland , but then I wouldn ' t imagine that the threefinger swipe would do anything for you unless you ' re currently in or on an XWayland app . But it sounds like the three finger stroke works for you even without an XWayland app running ? Still confused how that can work for you EDIT OH ! !! My libinputgestures config uses xdotool which is probably why I ' m getting slightly different results since you say you have it invoking wmctrl instead . Yeah , there ' s probably a dbus command I can trigger instead to tell gnomeshell to go intooutof overview mode . Thank you ! This might end up fixing one of my two major blockers for total 100 % time Wayland adoption .
