3 Finger Moving Between Open Windows - Like Windows or Command+Tab

As a BTT user I am tying to replicate the windows 11 feature where 3 fingers on trackpad you move left/right to select the window. Releasing the fingers from the trackpad then selects and opens the selected window - Touch gestures for Windows - Microsoft Support ] Under 'Switch between open apps or windows'.

Really hoping to have a good implementation of what can be seen in the video here (https://youtu.be/dTLzx4xDFqw?si=8SbsOdOwG3_KD5mq&t=125)

Can see how the window/app is being moved while fingers are on the touchpad, then selected/opened once fingers are released. That left/right behavior is very natural when I use it and would be a great implementation here in macOS.

I have another post about this where I got a workaround in BTT to kind of work, but it doesn't follow the left/right scrolling seen in windows and doesn't have the same 'magic' feel of seeing the open windows and hovering through them. This could almost be similar to the 'Command + Tab' app switcher, but just using 3 fingers on trackpad to navigate/select - though Window switching is really the best implementation, not simply application switching.

Wondering if anything new feature wise has come toward supporting this kind of interaction/behavior. Thanks!

I would like to work towards providing the community a set of configurations/setup/presets that mimics what the Windows/Windows11 trackpad gestures are. There are some good ones there, and it helps with the migration from Windows to Mac :slight_smile: I think many I can recreate, but this one seems to be very hard to get similar to how windows is implementing it
