This program enables reasonable 3-finger tap behavior using Precision Touchpads when under a custom shell or such a shell launched by CustomShellHost, because it was rendered inoperational for an unknown reason, possibly due to the UWP infrastructure.
It uses the raw input APIs, bypassing the generic Precision Touchpad architecture, and its behavior could be easily customized (see source code). Also, raw input APIs are standard, therefore more stable and likely to survive Windows updates.
TL;DR: 3+ finger taps only worked in the Explorer shell in recent Windows 10+ versions, and this program aims to fix it.
It is a hack of https://github.com/emoacht/RawInput.Touchpad, and is under the same license.
To enable reasonable 3-finger tap behavior, just run the program and put it in the background. The main window contains some simple logs for debugging.
The original README is below.
Sample to capture inputs from Precision Touchpad by Raw Input API. This is C# implementation which basically follows C++ function of TouchpadGestures Advanced by @kamektx to parse inputs from Touchpad including each contact point. Also, RawInput.Sharp by @mfakane is well sophisticated C# implementation and great help to understand this API. Many thanks!
