Hi Jun,
Sorry for the late reply. I must confess that I don't use gestures at all (mostly due
to a lack of hardware) and thus have rather limited knowledge how they are configured. I
guess that you can configure them via libinput, but the config format is all but
intuitive.
libinput-gestures looks rather useful for that, but we do not have it packaged in Fedora.
However, its just a script, so installation is just a git clone ;-)
If you'd like to package it for Fedora, I'd be more than happy to help you out.
Cheers,
Dan
