workspace_swipe_touch was just merged into ; I would say this is almost a competitive interface, but still not a perfect drop-in for sway.

@zachdecook Why is like 15-20% of the screen wasted on borders? 🤦

@dalias It's an obvious downside: in order to grab the edge (without e.g. taking away your ability to grab the app's scrollbar), there has to be a portion of the screen considered the gaps...
At one point, I had a keybinding to toggle the size of the the gaps, but since dropping my monitor scale from 3 to 2.666, the wasted screen real estate hasn't bothered me: most video players have a fullscreen option.

@dalias Phone screens these days have gotten so big, I don't mind having deadspace; it makes it easier to reach stuff. (and since the phone has an OLED screen, I could theoretically set my wallpaper to black and just pretend it's got a smaller screen). But I like my wallpaper more than I like the apps.

@zachdecook If I'm paying the nuisance cost of having a giant device I damn well want to get use of it. Apple and even Google handled this right by only having swiping sideways between apps after pulling up from bottom center.

@zachdecook @dalias
Maybe leave only the bottom gap, so it will actually behave like on android with gesture navigation. Not sure what to do when keyboard is open though.
