Does any other launcher allow setting of custom swipe actions on home screen icons?

[–] GreenMartian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 18 hours ago

I've settled on Total Launcher. It has custom swipe on all 4 directions.

Also background double & triple tap. And double finger swipe up & down.

Lawnchair 15.Beta 1 has swipe left and swipe right.

I literally tried it and it doesn't work it just tries to change the homepage

[–] IllNess@infosec.pub 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Sucks for you then.

For anyone else, it works for me so it could probably work for you. YMMV. It is in beta.

[–] IllNess@infosec.pub 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Just to show it is in the dock, I turned background on.

[–] phuntis@sopuli.xyz 1 points 35 minutes ago

yes it lets you do it but it doesn't work if you actually try to do it did you try or did you just set some options and then say it works

[–] JoKi@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As far as I know, Action Launcher supports custom swipe actions, but it's years since I tried it.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago

I'll look into it, thanks.

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes. This is not an exclusive feature.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 22 hours ago

It's either gotten more common since I last explored or I was looking in the wrong places.
