Windows 10: MultiSwipe program, how to enable 3 finger drag like MacOS?

Hey, so I'm using MultiSwipe which seems like a really powerful program, but I can't figure out how to enable any options similar to Mac with the 3 finger drag.

Using Windows' tap to click is a nightmare with the delay on double click drag being so short, I end up tapping to close a tab, then moving the track pad and all of a sudden I'm ripping open github in a new window or something. So I've just straight up disabled that feature, but I want to try and get something akin to MacOS' 3 finger drag because it's amazingly intuitive for how I use my trackpad. I've read in a few places that this program can do just that, but I'm not sure how to configure it.

The closest macro I can find is to use 3 finger drag to Move Active Window, but I want to use this to be able to drag & drop, hightlight files/text etcetera, which just moving active window doesn't seem capable of doing, and on top of that it's just a bit messy since it seems to just be doing an alt+space and then moving wherever the mouse moves, without actually moving the cursor. It's just a bit messy.

Does anybody have any experience using this app??

Touchpad: Tap twice to drag

Here's how it works standardly:

1. Tap twice
2. Hold down on the second tap
3. Move around and you're dragging
4. Release finger to stop dragging

Here's what I like it to do:

1. Tap twice
2. Hold down on the second tap
3. Move around and you're dragging
4. Release finger
5. Reposition finger and continue dragging by flicking the touchpad some more
6. (repeat steps 4 & 5 as many times as desired)
7. Release finger and perform one addditional tap to stop dragging

That's what it used to be like in the Windows 7 era with most touchpads. Some people found it annoying and disabled it, but I welcomed it.

I know dragging continues when your finger reaches the touchpad edges, but that I find greatly irritating because it looses all sense of precision. This mechanism is stupendously irritating when trying to pixel-precise drag a trackbar, or when doing some
painting in photoshop on the go. Or just anything that requires precision.

So I'd like to disable "drag continues at touchpad edge" and enable "require additional tap to stop dragging".

So how can I do that?

If not possible, then please consider this a feature request.

 

Three finger drag on Windows

You could use a substitute gesture: double-tap and drag (or tap and half):

• Tap, immediately tap and hold, then drag
  
• Moves an item or selects text
  
• Like moving a mouse while you hold down the left button
  

I'm a macOS user, and can say that this gesture is a very good replacement for three-finger in Windows.
