Use native trackpad gesture recognition on macOS

Use native trackpad gesture recognition on macOS

NativeTrackpadHello, here is the story:

Born of Fusion 360. Somebody in Autodesk says let's do a brand new CAD program and it must run on PC, Mac or even Linux. That would be great! Let's do it. Ok we need some cross platform framework to maintain same code across the platforms, did you heard about QT framework? Ok sounds good and what about fancy gestures from the original iPhone? Sure we need those and cross platform!

Now Fusion is real and works for couple of years and it's cross platform. And for trackpad gesture recognition uses Gestura framework which is something everybody on macOS is complaining (1 2 3 4 all).

But the solution for those issues is so simple, I have created Addin called Native Trackpad that uses native macOS trackpad gestures to control viewport camera and it works much much better. Try it for few minutes and you will find the difference.

Autodesk please do not reinvent the wheel in terms of trackpad gesture recognition and use the native macOS builtin functions, which everyone is accustomed and works better in most cases than Gestura framework.

Why is this not in the Fusion 360 App store?
