Windows 10: Reverse Touchpad 4 finger swipe gesture on Windows 10

Hi

Windows 10 allows to switch workspace with 4 finger swipe gestures. Opposite to my Macbook, I must swipe right-to-left to go to the right virtual desktop. Is there a way to reverse this, so I swipe left-to-right to go to the right virtual desktop? I have a HP laptop with Synaptics touchpad driver installed.

:)

 

Trackpad Gestures in Windows 10 are doing the wrong things - three finger swipe not working

Hi Ryan,

The following will only work for Touchpad in Windows 10.

Touchpad gestures for Windows 10

Power users! Try out these gestures on the touchpad of your Windows 10 laptop:

• Select an item: Tap on the touchpad.
• Scroll: Place two fingers on the touchpad and slide horizontally or vertically.
• Zoom in or out: Place two fingers on the touchpad and pinch in or stretch out.
• Show more commands (similar to right-clicking): Tap the touchpad with two fingers, or press in the lower-right corner.
• See all open windows: Place three fingers on the touchpad and swipe them away from you.
• Show the desktop: Place three fingers on the touchpad and swipe them towards yourself.
• Switch between open windows: Place three fingers on the touchpad and swipe right or left.

Thank you.

 

How to change Windows 10 Gestures (3 finger swiping)

I just upgraded my Windows 7 Dell Inspiron Laptop to Windows 10.

I now have the Windows 10 three finger gestures on my touchpad that basically act as alt+tab (Swipe left/right:
move between windows, Swipe up: task switch,
Swipe down: minimize all windows and show the desktop)

I absolutely hate this!

In Windows 7, swiping up and down with 3 fingers allowed me to switch between tabs in my internet browser. And swiping left hit the "back button", and swiping right hit the "forward button" in the browser. I
liked this! It was SUPER efficient and SUPER convenient. But, this has been overridden by the new Windows 10, 3 finger gestures.

Is there anyway to replace the new Windows 10 3 finger gestures with my old Windows 7 3 finger gestures?

I looked through all the settings and "additional mouse settings" and "touchpad settings" but I haven't found a way to change it.

Again, is there a way to change my Windows 10 3 finger gestures back to the way they were in Windows 7?

 

4 finger gesture doesn't work under Windows 10 with Precision Touchpad


Hi,
My laptop has a Synaptic precision touchpad (there are no specific gesture menus under the mouse settings, just whatever windows shows me under the touchpad menu in the metro setting app). I'm running SCU 1803 as I'm in the release preview ring. I've had the advanced configuration for 3 fingers working and with both swiping and tapping function normally and can be customized ever since the 1703 update.

However, I had NO options for 4 finger gestures. I already uninstalled the drivers from the device manager and let windows update it but I still can't activate a four gesture option. Any help would be appreciated since my precision touchpad should be supported after all. My laptop is an Acer Nitro 791g running the latest synaptic drivers 19.0.25.9. I tried contacting Microsoft's support but they weren't of much help. So I ignored this issue for a year until now.

Today, I went through Microsoft catalogue and manually updated my synaptic driver to 19.4.29.3 which somehow enabled the 4 gesture controls. But these do not work even with uninstalling, reinstalling and restarting. (as if 4 fingers aren't recognized by the touchpad).

Any idea on what I can do? Precision touchpads ARE supposed to support 4 fingers no?

Thank you.
