Using three finger swipe

Question

I liked having a three finger swipe up to spread all open windows and having a three finger swipe down minimize all windows. Is there a way I can implement this in Ubuntu 12.04?

Here's some solution, it works for me (Ubuntu 12.04) with 4 finger drag but you can customize it. Although there are some bugs with the 3 finger drag because ubuntu has some default gestures written in the source code.

I can't find anything directly, but that would definitely be something to file as a feature request with either the Canonical Multitouch group or with the Unity group.

Here are the current supported multitouch actions for Unity.

As much as I appreciate the help, unfortunately that does not really answer the question :(. There has got to be a better way! – Dan Jul 09 '12 at 17:20
Perhaps some third party tool the enables keymapping to fnger swipes? On my computer super+w spreads all windows – Dan Jul 09 '12 at 17:29
Here might be something, though it looks like you have to configure it manually. http://www.howtogeek.com/?post_type=post&p=43097 I would still recommend filing a feature request with the Unity or Multitouch group. – Christian Smith Jul 13 '12 at 12:30

The only way I got the three finger gesture to work was writing a script myself. See this link.
