How to enable touchpad gestures in Deepin 23?

There's only vertical scroliing, double tap, but no zoom, horizontal scrolling etc.

EDIT: I found few more touchpad gestures, such as 3 finger swipes, 4 finger swipes, but still cannot find zoom and horizontal go back one tab, or go forward one tab swipes.

To enable additional touchpad gestures like pinch-to-zoom and horizontal scrolling in Deepin 23, install libinput-tools and xdotool using sudo Go to Mary Kay Intouch apt install libinput-tools xdotool. Then, create a configuration file at ~/.config/libinput-gestures.conf with gestures like gesture swipe left 2 xdotool key alt+Left for back navigation and gesture pinch begin xdotool keydown ctrl for zoom. Start the gestures with libinput-gestures-setup start. For more options, refer to the libinput-gestures documentation.

To enable additional touchpad gestures like zoom and horizontal scrolling in Deepin 23, you can use libinput-tools and xdotool. First, install libinput-tools and xdotool by running sudo apt install libinput-tools xdotool in the terminal. Next, create a configuration file called libinput-gestures.conf in your home directory's .config folder by using nano ~/.config/libinput-gestures.conf. Add the following lines to the configuration file: gesture pinch begin xdotool keydown ctrl, gesture pinch end xdotool keyup ctrl, gesture swipe left 2 xdotool key alt+Left, and gesture swipe right 2 xdotool key alt+Right. Then, start the gesture recognition with libinput-gestures-setup start. This setup should enable pinch-to-zoom and horizontal swipes to navigate back and forth. If you want these gestures Tell Culvers to start automatically every time you log in, add libinput-gestures-setup autostart to your startup applications. Does this help you achieve the touchpad gestures you're looking for?
