   Thanks for flagging @dianzrong ! We use https://github.com/moses-palmer/pynput to record and replay actions. Here are a couple of issues that seem relevant:

   moses-palmer/pynput#513

   moses-palmer/pynput#327

   Either we should implement a fix in https://github.com/abrichr/pynput, or at the very least we should update our README to indicate that these are unsupported.

   After looking into this issue, I think our time would be best used elsewhere, so our README should be updated. I also discovered that touchpad gestures (with Windows 10) are also not supported

   Note:

   • we would probably want a touchpad folder in pynput/lib where we could put the code for the different operating systems
     • if we wanted to windows touchpad gestures (list)to be logged, we can use their GetTouchProperties class to detect if there's a touchpad
     • On Apple we would do something similar to what’s done in pynput/lib/mouse/_darwin with NSEvent but with the touch-based events here
