Touchpad Gestures Not Working on Zorin OS (Xorg/Wayland)

Hardware Support
5

I've managed to solve this annyoance by creating a custom GNOME plugin disable-gestures-wayland

This GNOME Shell extension completely disables all touchpad gestures on Wayland.
Inspired by the approach taken on Swap Finger Gestures (3 to 4) - GNOME Shell Extensions
by GitHub - icedman/swap-finger-gestures-3-4

Features

  • Disables all touchpad gestures (swipes, pinches, etc.)
  • Works specifically on Wayland - and it disables the newly introduced 3-finger swipe gestures!
  • Preserves keyboard shortcuts and mouse functionality
  • You can install Touchegg/Touche and use gestures like you would normally do.
