It's a shame that Asus doesn't support Linux. They make great laptops that a
lot of developers use because of it.
If they continue not to support Linux, personally I will probably start to
see what its competitors offer like Huawei for example.

As far as I know, on Windows it works the same way just by touching the top

@magellan Good news ^^
Depending on the laptop model, the touchpad keys area are a little different.
For example on UX433 we have not (%) key and the comma (.) key is not exactly
at the same place.
Probably we would have to make different programs for each kind of
models

Cool ^^ It s working also for UX433 users.
Yes it s the normal behavior of Left Shift+Enter. (it goes up)
I will update the program to not use LeftShift for enter key.
Meanwhile, you can cancel this effect hitting leftshift again.
