Multitouch trackpad support for windows

I was looking around for something a little more exciting when using multi touch trackpads for windows than holding the Alt key, I learned that MacOS had this feature all along (two finger pinch, scroll, rotate etc etc). From what I read it was implied that trackpads on PCs were so crappy nobody bothered porting over the MacOS build's behaviour. So I am making this post mainly to let it be known that good trackpads have come to PCs, and I am very eager to use my trackpad with blender to its full potential.

Here is an interesting patch that was made in may : developer.blender.org/D7660 , upvote if you also feel that your PC's multitouch trackpad deserves some love and that developpers should look into bringing this patch into master soon !

TBH, even with the ALT key trick, using the trackpad actually speeds up my workflow as both hands are on the keyboard, near the shortcuts that require one hand to leave the mouse, hit the key and go back to the mouse (mainly Numpad views etc)

100%
