[feature] gesture trigger improvements

I’m trying to use the trigger of "gestures" but currently there are only two options of gestures in the upper corners and unfortunately is not so easy to use, do not know if it is something to do with Android 12, because the navigation of gestures of Android "pure" in has variations as in Samsung you have the movement diagonally up and down, in addition to having two parts divided.

I would like to suggest other gesture options, for example including the bottom of the screen or swipe gesture with 2 or 3 fingers, for example, sliding your fingers on the screen will initiate the screenshot action. Something in this sense, in addition I will attach a video showing the difficulty I have to trigger the slide diagonally to take the screenshot using a specific app, in which I can trigger only a few times very rare and the next does not work.

I would like to add that the new supported gestures could be inspired by the Galaxy store app called "Onde Hand Operation +" which has, in addition to diagonal movements up or down, There is the possibility of moving the handle to any part of the screen and not just the top, I think it would be very useful for users who use gesture navigation.

I love that app. Its game changer when it comes to using phones. One of factors I chose S23Ultra.
What you can do for now is find an app you don't use and make one hand operation app open it with gesture and use trigger app launched to trigger your macrodroid macro. Its not too handy but depending on what type of macro it is, it might be good enough for your usage. I've never had a deeper look if theres another way to connect it with macrodroid.
I know you can connect modes and routines using notifications tho

Anyway - I'd probably not use this gesture feature in macrodroid since I have most of sidescreen covered already but its decent to have options. I'd like to have it in macrodroid

There is tasker plugin called TouchTask that has a lot of gesture option, i think it's suitable for your situation and it also support Macrodroid.

Maybe the demand for people using it is really low, but it would be useful so as not to need to create a settings block or a button in the notification, for example, I wanted to create a gesture to take away screenshot using a specific app, the same goes for screen recorders, as it can be a little complicated to always drag the notification panel to access these shortcuts of these applications

I know this app, I tried to use it but I couldn't because to create a gesture I need to know the X and Y codes, and I found it a bit complicated, I tried using another app that instead of typing this, it "draws" gestures on the screen and you can save them in a file, but it doesn't work on macrodroid...

MD's overlay may be overridden by other system overlays, such as the navigation gesture. That's probably why it's so hard to trigger the macro with gesture.

In my case, MIUI13 with Everywhere Launcher (gesture app), I have to use navbar as the navigation otherwise I couldn't use the said app like at all.
