Description

Ability to add track-pad gesture to open/close scale, with responsive movements. By responsive movements, I mean that the motion on the screen should follow the fingger like it does for changing workspaces.

Currently, there is a way to set "toggle" of scales a touchscreen gesture. I am asking for track-pad gesture also.

Research direction

Start by comparing the existing touchscreen gesture for toggling scale with the workspace gesture behavior described in the issue. Trace how gesture movement is connected to scale opening and closing, then verify that a trackpad gesture follows the finger responsively and supports the requested scale action.
