sorry, I don’t think desktop webviews support on touch events, I probably won’t be able to workaround this ;-( BTT does only support what Safari on macOS would ---

thanks for reply, as an idea may be floating views can be add here ![Screen Shot 2023-02-12 at 20.14.16](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/2/7/27a2e52c6ac9110789bd52dc7c8096d12d9cb43c.jpeg) so we can send 3 finger tap or other gestures as keyboard shortcuts here is a preview from latest SWM. it almost done [/uploads/default/original/3X/1/2/12fff31613951fd60729755d6133f57d280be317.mov](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/1/2/12fff31613951fd60729755d6133f57d280be317.mov) i can switch / toggle between different layouts with middle click but i couldnt with trackpad if i can set 3 finger tap on SWM as middle click, it would be great i checked hovered/focused ui elements details but floating view has no details on there ---

Good idea. I'll add a new variable to the conditional activation group (cag) variables. "currently active floating webviews" or something like that. Then you can create a CAG for your webview and assign any gestures etc. to it. ---

thanks, i solved temporarily like this ![Screen Shot 2023-02-12 at 20.48.07](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/7/b/7bcb0e81e672293e5fee4d38a5cb5c12a66e27f6.jpeg) SWM changes variable "SWM-OP" to 1 on launch, changes to 0 on close 3 finger tap \> middle finger action checks that variable for detection is SWM visible with advanced condition but it has a serious bug. 3 finger tap stucks as middle finger if BTT crashes while using SWM (saw many times. but reduced last versions) this will not be problem with your fix
