I would love to see the touchpad supported better by making use of multi-finger (really, in my case, only two-finger) gestures, which I use as much as I use the mouse wheel while mousing. Two-finger gestures should scroll lists like the mouse wheel, and there should be such a gesture for panning the various maps as well, probably the same two-finger gesture except in two dimensions.

Currently, any two-fingered gesture causes the camera to zoom into the sky like a rocket. At least on my system.

For starters, see Toady One's reply to my and Mr. Crabman's questions near the end of this FoTF.

That being said, I agree that the ability to use gestures involving two or more fingers on trackpads that support it would be very useful.

Hmm. Thanks for digging this up. Looks like SDL doesn't have a category for touchpad support at https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/APIByCategory. Darn.

I'd settle for just fixing two-finger scrolling with touchpads.  Something definitely broke with the SDL2 update regarding that, since before then it worked fine.  Still works fine with a mouse wheel, but no matter how I bind the controls two-finger scrolling causes lists to scroll haphazardly or jump to the top regardless of which way I scroll.

Not sure I'd use any other gestures.  I never learned to use touchpad gestures at all past scrolling or pinch zooming.

Oh yeah, I forgot about zooming. That would be useful too, in theory. I think I turned that off because I kept zooming by accident, and I guess I couldn't change the zoom sensitivity.
