I am on unity 7.4.0 which is part of the ubuntu 16.04 nightly builds at the moment. I must say that the fact that this situation has still not changed seems to show a bug in the whole development process of unity. Getting to this bug report just cost me more than 2 hours of my time looking for solutions on how to change my touch pad gestures. I am a PhD student in computer science. This means that there are probably thousands of people out there who never even make it this far and get lost in the many many useless wikis and answers on askubuntu etc.
This bug concerns the user interface, this should automatically give it an extra bug heat score of 500. The most successful computer manufacturer and software company (called like a fruit) builds its success exactly on such priorities. Security and privacy are useless if nobody uses your software. To make people use it it needs to be usable. Sorry for the rant you guys are awesome anyway, but because I like ubuntu and unity so much it hurts more if these things go so wrong and the apple users laugh at me... there really should be an easy direct way to change the gestures in the touchpad and mouse settings no matter whether this takes a lot of work, it is worth it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/842693 Title: Touchpad gesture not customizable or cannot turn off all or selected gestures To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oif/+bug/842693/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
