SUMMARY
***

As more and more touchpad gestures are showing up in Plasma I thought I will take an opportunity and suggest adding keyboard modifier + two fingers (left/right) swipe trackpad gestures (ex. Meta/Windows/whatever key and swipe left and right).

The inspiration comes from the great job Gnome team has done on this topic, which makes using even older laptop not supporting 3=+ fingers gestures a pleasure; it is used in the Gnome shell to change workspaces (pressing Meta key and swiping with two fingers left or right).

Thanks for reading. :)
