Synergy-core: OSX+linux / trackpad gestures

[dobkeratops]

I'm curious - is it possible to map OSX trackpad gestures to key-bindings when using an OSX synergy server and a Linux Synergy client.

The use I have in mind is the binding the 3-finger swipes to switch desktops (and possibly up/down to invoke scale etc, but thats' less important), just as they do in mission control by default;

if any linux desktop manager key combination is common enough for this action, it might be a nice default to give people.. it's usually Ctrl-Alt left/right ? Up/down is more ambiguous, since you might want that to be vertical navigation in a desktop grid, or invoking 'scale'

I'd also like to know the answer to this. Kinda a bummer when you try a gesture and it is just ignored. In my case I'm going from mac to mac.

I'm in the same boat as Steve, Mac to Mac. I paid money into the bucket for this feature way back when and I'd really like to see it come to fruition. Anything we can do to escalate this?

same as above. Would like to see gestures from Mac-to-Mac. Happy for it to be mac-client-only, tbh.

Currently we get WARNING: unknown quartz event type: 0x1e for what looks like each frame, in the logs. (about 10-20 per gesture)

Same here, OSX-to-OSX is a fair minimum expectation...

Same here. Not only the " and ' doesn't work none of the trackpad gestures are translated. Those two items are the only ones from making this app AMAZING

This is huge. Looking around, I haven't found any mouse/keyboard sharing apps that support trackpad gestures. Without gestures, I'd lose way too much functionality -- it ruins the idea of using a virtual KVM as an input-sharing solution.

It’s really not an ideal situation. The worst part is that the developers know about the issue and I haven’t found an official statement about it. I really like this app, but I could easily LOVE IT

Just revisiting this, I'm still after this functionality for a perfect setup.

I note that 'gnome-shell' does indeed use 'ctrl-alt+up', 'ctrl-alt-down' for desktop switching (it arranges workspaces vertically) , as did most other window-managers i've tried.
The mac also uses ctrl-alt-left, ctrl-alt left.

It would certainly suit all the environments I use for '3-finger drag' to default to dispatching ctrl-alt+(left, right,up,down) keypresses in a manner similar to the '2-finger-drag' issuing quantised mouse wheel events.

I'm sure a few options could be given that would allow people to get something fairly consistent with whatever combination of OS's they're using.

The multitouch desktop switching is a joy to just, it's extremely untuitive.. 1finger=move cursor, 2fingers=scroll window, 3fingers=scroll desktops. All the navigation in one place, without having to move the cursor to panels/switchers, and without having to contort to key combinations.
