Description

I'd like to be able to resize the window with two finger pinch. I mainly use mpv on OS X, but it would be great if this can be implemented in Linux as well.

Research direction

Start by tracing mpv's window and input handling on OS X and Linux, then determine how two-finger pinch gestures can reach window resizing on each platform. Done means pinch gestures resize the mpv window reliably on OS X and, if feasible, Linux, with behavior verified on both platforms.
