Description

I really like window gesture extension because it adds nice 3 and 4 fingers gesture to gnome:

https://github.com/amarullz/windowgestures

It also adds one really nice feature that is 4 fingers (or 3) swipe down move windows. This gesture allows to move the focused window on the screen.

However, it doesn't work with snap assistant or edge tiling. If i understand your extension, both activates thanks to begin-grab-op and the use cursor position and finish with end-grab-op.

The issue is that for now the move window gesture only move the window.
I modified window gesture extension to move the pointer with the window (and it works)

But i have no idea on how to set grabop to the move status for the window or even reset it when the move ends.

I'm leaving that here in case you (or someone else )have an idea on how to do it or have an other solution.

Note: window gesture extension is not working becaus of a bug in gnome shell that should be solved in next gnome shell update
