# Gestures and Actions
|
|
|
|
µLauncher's central mechanism for accessing important functionality quickly
|
|
is to bind actions (e.g. launching an app) to gestures (e.g. swiping up).
|
|
These bindings can be configured in µLauncher Settings > ACTIONS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Available Gestures
|
|
|
|
### Swipes
|
|
|
|
- Basic swipes: Swipe up, down, left, or right
|
|
- Double swipes: Swipe up, down, left, or right with two fingers
|
|
- Edge swipes:
|
|
- Swipe up or down on the left or right edge
|
|
- Swipe left or right on the top or bottom edge
|
|
|
|
The size of the edges is configurable in settings.
|
|
For a swipe to be detected as an edge swipe, the finger must not leave the respective edge region while swiping.
|
|
|
|
### Taps
|
|
|
|
- Tap on date or time
|
|
- Double tap
|
|
- Long click
|
|
|
|
### Tap-then-Swipes
|
|
|
|
- Tap then swipe up, down, left, or right
|
|
|
|
To execute these gesture consistently, it is helpful to think of them as double taps,
|
|
where the finger stays on the screen after the second tap and then does a swipe.
|
|
The swipe must start very shortly after the tap ended.
|
|
|
|
### Complex Gestures
|
|
|
|
- Draw <, >, V, or Λ
|
|
- Draw <, >, V, or Λ in reverse direction
|
|
|
|
### Hardware Buttons as Gestures
|
|
|
|
- Back button (or back gesture if gesture navigation is enabled)
|
|
- Volume buttons
|
|
|

|
|
## Available Actions
|
|
|
|
To any of the available gestures, one of the following actions can be bound:
|
|
|
|
- Launch an app (or a pinned shortcut)
|
|
- Open a widget panel.
|
|
Widget panels can hold widgets that are not needed on the home screen itself.
|
|
They can be created and managed in µLauncher Settings > Manage Widget Panels
|
|
- Open a list of all, favorite, or private apps (hidden apps are excluded).
|
|
Actions related to private space are only shown if private space is set up on the device.
|
|
µLauncher's settings can be accessed from those lists.
|
|
If private space is set up, an icon to (un)lock it is shown on the top right.
|
|
- Open µLauncher's settings
|
|
- Toggle private space lock
|
|
- Lock the screen: This allows to lock the screen.
|
|
There are two mechanisms by which the screen can be locked, accessibility service and device admin.
|
|
- Toggle the flashlight
|
|
- Raise, lower or adjust volume
|
|
- Play or pause media playback
|
|
- Skip to previous or next audio track
|
|
- Open notifications panel: Might be useful if the top of your screen is broken.
|
|
- Open quick settings panel: Why swipe down twice?
|
|
- Open [recent apps](https://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities/recents): Requires accessibility service. Can be used as a workaround for a Android bug.
|
|
- Launch another home screen: Allows using another installed home screen temporarily.
|
|
- Do nothing: Just prevents showing the message saying that no action is bound to this gesture.
