enable all touchpad functions

  • 772

When I had been using Windows 8 my touchpad had multiple gestures:

  • 2 fingers direction top-bottom = vertical revers scrolling(if I scrolled top than page have scrolled bottom);

  • 2 finger direction left-right = horizontal revers scrolling

  • zoom in and zoom out like smartphones with 2 fingers

  • 2 finger rotation = rotate image in image viewer (+ 90 deg or -90 deg)

  • place a finger in the left edge and drag it to right = change windows application, in Ubuntu I want to change the active program to left like Ctrl+Shift+Tab

  • place a finger in the right edge and drag it to left = open right menu and select the option moving finger on direction top-bottom, in Ubuntu I want to change the active program to right like Alt+Tab

I succeed enable 2 finger vertical scrolling of System Setings, but I want that it do not work in revers sense. Do it exist a method to enable the rest of gestures and revers the vertical scrolling?

edit: It's a Synaptics touchpad.
