Registry path of 3 or 4 finger touch gesture setting

Windows 11 has a setting "Three- and four-finger touch gestures" under Bluetooth and devices → Touch. I'm writing an app which automatically checks whether this setting is turned on or off by reading the value of a certain key in the registry. Therefore I would like to know if and where exactly this setting is stored/located in the registry as I can't seem to find it myself.

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query related to touch gestures registry settings.

    You can try swipe behavior, you should dig in registry. Action settings are stored in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTPPlugins\SynTP\, each key's name is ID. There are some unused keys, which can be used for custom key combinations,

    Browser back - 0x00000a6
    Browser forward - 0x000000a7
    Switch to left desktop - 0x30115b25 (ctrl+win+arrow left)
    Switch to right desktop - 0x30115b27 (ctrl+win+arrow right)

    Check this path:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

    Key: TouchGestureSetting, 0 is disable and 1 is enable.
