I can already make swipe actions repeat while I keep my finger on the touchpad, but it feels a little unnatural that the repeat rate is constant rather than based on how quickly I swipe. I'd love to be able to swipe through my Chrome tabs with the same tactile, almost "gliding" feeling that OS X scrolling has. ---

Unfortunately this won't be added in the near term because it would require a complete rewrite of the swipe gestures. However it's on my long-term todo list. ---

Right on. LMK if you need any testers. I'd offer some dev time, but my personal project time is too scarce already. 😛 ---

Yeah, I want this to be able to control volume wtih two finger slide on trackpad (same like on touchpad) ---

Hey @Andreas_Hegenberg – is this still a limitation with the gesture system? I would love inertia based gesture repeat– I have been trying to mimic the [ChromeOS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo-pP_Q-ZxI&t=71s) 3 finger swipe to change tabs on macOS for forever. I think any brightness/volume control would also benefit from some acceleration curve for repeating. ---

I am actually using 2 finger swipes over menubar with these values for years now: ![CleanShot 2023-02-24 at 10.22.59@2x](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/7/5/757dacd1bacbf3161b58ca4e48a75e57073a6c38.png) I'd say it's a pretty good approximation to the real effect, because the gesture is only triggered while the fingers are touching (moving through) trackpad. I even created same gestures for my Magic Mouse. Could work with the tabs switching as well!

Hey @Andreas_Hegenberg , have you managed to implement this somehow? Would be happy with a workaround that allows the same affect. Mainly want this for changing tabs and/or using with the app switcher. My logitech MX master 3s mouse has this functionality and it's very convenient.
