Swish 1.2
Features
• Gestures for tabs in native tab bars: detaching (chaining) and closing.
• Gestures will now automatically be cancelled after a custom timeout. Just keep holding until the tooltip disappears.
• Windows will now be automatically unsnapped before closing and terminating, so they won't re-open in a snapped position.
• Global menubar gestures now correspond to their window counterparts: double tap to unsnap, swipe down to minimize and swipe up to unminimize. No modifier key required.
• Enabled tap, hold and pinch functionality. Can e.g. be used for quitting an app from a window or entering fullscreen mode on a window after activating from the Dock.
• Added a toggle for hiding the cursor on tooltips, as this can apparently cause issues with Sidecar.
Fixes
• Asynchronous gesture pipeline for improved timing on gesture chaining.
• Improved settings window layout and onboarding. Also, gesture views now resize properly.
• Menubar gestures now also work on non-focused screens in a multi-monitor setup.

• On two monitor setups, windows can be made fullscreen directly on the other monitor by holding the screen modifier.
Improvements
• New app and menubar icon. Sorry about the motion sickness!
• Swish can now block event propagation during and scroll momentum after gestures, improving the experience for Catalina apps, where scroll areas often extend to the titlebar.

• Exposed the re-snap timeout setting on screen setup changes.
• Added the ability to deactivate an existing license.

Reassignments
• Double tapping now unsnaps and centers a window.
• Tap, hold and swipe up to enter and exit fullscreen mode. Alternatively, use the general modifier.
• In fullscreen mode, tap and hold before swiping down to minimize. This prevents accidentals.
Deprecations
• Reset all modifier keys due to the new modifier architecture.
• Removed the cancel modifier, as this is handled by escape now.
• Removed the ability on disable tooltips on a category basis, as gestures can now disabled individually. Tooltips can still be disabled globally.
• Removed 'Available Screens' tooltip option for reasons of simplicity.
• Removed the two biggest tooltip size options as they were comically large and removed monochrome color option due to weird look.
Known Issues
• Due to a bug on Apple's side, system-wide pinch and swipe gestures might stop working unexpectedly. Swish can try to re-enable them automatically or manually. In hard cases, setting your machine to sleep briefly fixes that behavior.
• The contents of the preference window might not properly resize under certain circumstances. (pls send help)
