there was [this post](https://community.folivora.ai/t/inertial-repeat-for-swipe-gestures/3335) years back on swipe gestures that would trigger repeatedly depending on how quickly you swipe. Instead of 1 swipe = 1 action (like switching 1 tab at a time or it repeating linearly), a swipe would switch tabs proportional to the swipe "speed" and gradually decrease in rate.

This would be similar to how the gestures work on an MX Master 3s for the app switcher.

Maybe there is a workaround for this, but having the gesture be dynamic would be awesome and very useful for switching between things.

Not what you want, but the closest thing would be different swips 2/3/4 fingers at different speeds (repeat rate). The actions would still be linear, but the speed can be varied.
