On some systems, Unity has support for some system gestures, and you can try those out right away. Here's a list:
- 3 finger pinch to maximize/restore windows
- 3 finger press and drag to move window
- 3 finger touch to show grab handles
- 3 finger double tap -> switches to previous window
- 3 finger tap followed by 3-fingers hold -> shows window switcher
- drag those 3-fingers -> change selected window icon
- release fingers -> selects window and closes switcher
- 3 finger tap followed by 3-fingers hold -> shows window switcher
- release fingers -> switcher will kept being shown for some seconds still
- drag with one or three fingers -> change selected window
- release finger(s) -> selects window and closes switcher
- 3 finger tap followed by 3-fingers hold -> shows window switcher
- release fingers -> switcher will kept being shown for some seconds still
- tap on some window icon -> selects that icon and closes the switcher
- 4 finger swipe left/right to reveal launcher (if the dock autohide is enabled)
- 4 finger tap to open dash
MultiTouch Overlays for every application, standard sizes for creating touch screen TVs to custom large overlays. Multitouch overlay technologies transformed the interactive market forever, from large scale custom multi touch overlays to standard sizes to make any TV a Touch TV. Jun 23, 2020 Windows 10 introduces new multi-touch gestures to facilitate interaction with your desktop and apps. Redundant actions such as right-clicking, zooming in/out, scrolling and switching between apps can be achieved through simple touchpad gestures (tap, stretch, slide, or pinch). Touch Gestures for Windows 10. Oct 21, 2015 Ubuntu Multitouch dev mailing list In-Depth Definitions - A glossary of terms we use when discussing touch/gesture recognition technology, both at the user-experience and engineering levels.
Some applications support 2 finger gestures. However, note that 2 finger gestures require extra setup for touchpads in Ubuntu. Also please note that your system may not be supported out of the box, or at all.
Legacy Applications
Multitouch Tester
Ginn provides users with the ability to add gestures for applications that do not directly support gestures. Ginn supports everything from photo viewers and text editors to window managers! Ginn is not installed by default, and has been moved to universe repositories as of Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal)

The Ubuntu gesture recognition framework includes several different components and is associated with various tools and projects:
- kernel drivers (evdev, mtdev)
- a display server (currently only X is supported; there are future plans for Wayland)
- Grail - the gesture recognizer
- GEIS - platform/distro agnostic API for gestures
- Support in toolkits (Qt, GTK)
- Support for legacy applications (Ginn)
See the 'In-Depth' section below for more information on the projects various aspects (including current work). Architectural information is available there as well.

Custom and large scale non standard multi touch overlays is where we do some of our best work in the interactive displays space, 6×10 8×15 and even larger are standard products for us, we overlay LED video walls, rear projection film displays, touch tables and interactive tradeshow displays screens frequently. We enjoy the process of seeing how we can accommodate customers needs but also pushing the limits of our multi touch overlays and creating unique and one of a kind displays with our customers
Screen Solutions offers design services in house, if you have a custom or special requirement or just want to see what’s possible we’re here to help and take your idea from concept to production. Clients have sent napkin sketches of concept ideas for us to take that idea or rough sketch to a specifically designed fully integrated interactive display that meets the requirement.
