I’m still trying to get myself over to linux, and I’m having a hard time finding a replacement for BetterTouchTool. Essentially, the app lets you customize multitouch trackpad gestures per-app and system wide with single to 5 finger support.

I’m in the test phase of all the available ones; KDE is by far my favorite, and I really like gnome as well (but I can’t use it because Dropbox relies on application status icons which are absent from gnome; I tried the extensions to bring that back but they didn’t work for me when I tried them a while back)
Check this out. It only works on KDE, you have to compile it from source and it’s a pain in the ass to configure but it seems like it has all the features you’re looking for.
You might also need to add
set(CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE ON)to the CMakeLists to get it to compile.
Such is life.
Linux Mint’s Cinnamon has an involved gesture pref panel, but it’s not per app, it’s system-wide. If the suggestion from the other user for touche/touchegg don’t work due to being designed for X11, you’re out of luck. What you’re asking is a bit too specialized and from what I read from the creator of touchegg on his github, is that Wayland has no way to support these features. So don’t expect it in the future either.
Yeah, I’m basically going to have to refuse to use any app that’s lacking in Wayland support. Really no reason to build a Linux ecosystem that has legacy parts from the get go.
From the developer, he said that Wayland has no way to support these features, not that he won’t support them. You need the right APIs to develop this app, and while X11 seems to have them, Wayland does not.
