Partial A settings UI for gestures is vibe-codeable, but reading and remapping touchpad input on Linux requires low-level input-device work and per-hardware testing that the assistant can't validate alone.
What it would actually take: The UI can be a simple web or GTK app that writes config for libinput or a small daemon that reads evdev events. Making it work reliably means understanding Linux input stacks (libinput, udev, Wayland/X11) and testing across many touchpad models with quirks. Someone with Linux systems-programming experience and access to varied hardware is needed.
