Multi Touch Touchpad Gestures

This release implements a long awaited feature request, multi touch touchpad gestures #13. Invoke multi finger tap and swipe gestures on the touchpad by creating custom actions on up, down, left, right, and center with action types multi_tap_action, multi_hold_action, and multi_double_tap_action.

custom_actions:
  up:
    multi_tap_action:
      action: key
      key: VOLUME_UP
  down:
    multi_tap_action:
      action: key
      key: VOLUME_DOWN
  left:
    multi_tap_action:
      action: key
      key: MEDIA_REWIND
  right:
    multi_tap_action:
      action: key
      key: MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD
  center:
    double_tap_action:
      action: key
      key: BACK
    multi_tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: light.toggle
      target:
        entity_id: light.ceiling
    multi_hold_action:
      action: key
      key: HOME
    multi_double_tap_action:
      action: key
      key: MUTE

Repeat on Hold

Any button and touchpad tap actions can now be made repeatable by setting the hold_action action field to repeat. By default the following default actions repeat when held, whether they are buttons or part of the touchpad:

• up
• down
• left
• right
• volume_up
• volume_down
• delete
• forward_delete

Similarly, the the above actions can be made not to repeat when held by setting their hold_action to something else.

custom_actions:
  channel_up:
    hold_action:
      action: repeat
  channel_down:
    hold_action:
      action: repeat
  volume_up:
    # this remaps volume up hold to a different action instead of the default repeat
    hold_action:
      action: call-service
      service: media_player.volume_set
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.google_tv
        volume_level: 1
  volume_down:
    # this disables volume down from repeating when held
    hold_action:
      action: none

Other changes:

• Improved touchpad swipe direction detection and decreased sensitivity.
• Held swipe direction can now be changed mid swipe.
• Slider render fixes.
• Refactored how button and touchpad actions are called.
• Changed vibration levels to be light for all tap actions, medium for all normal hold actions, and selection (extra light) for repeated hold actions.
