Libinput-gesture maximize/unmaximize and minimize window :: Wayland












0















I use wayland and gnome 3.28.
I would like to set libinput so that a 4 finger swipe up maximize/unmaximize the currently active window, and a 4 finger swipe down minimize it.



I digged a bit and it looks like that xdotool doesn't work properly in a wayland session, so a command like this




gesture swipe up 3 xdotool key super+Up




is ineffective.



Do you know how to get the aforementioned behaviour when performing 4 finger swipes on the touchpad?
