Problem
cmdcmd did not have built-in trackpad swipe support. Users had to rely on outside gesture tools, and macOS three-finger gestures could fight with cmdcmd.
Live previews could also feel blurry or heavy. Fast cmd-cmd taps could sometimes miss, and the old idle dots no longer told the truth because every captured frame counted as activity.
Solution
This PR adds configurable three-finger swipe support inside cmdcmd. Settings can warn about macOS gesture conflicts and help the user disable them only when they choose to.
It also adds preview quality modes, makes live capture lighter, fixes idle dots, and makes fast cmd-cmd taps more reliable.
Technical Summary
CMultitouchbridge for raw three-finger swipe and tap events. Swipe up reveals cmdcmd. Swipe down dismisses back to the original window instead of choosing another tile.trackpadSwipeandpreviewQualityconfig. Settings exposes both, detects likely macOS three-finger conflicts, and only changes system gesture settings after an explicit button click.cmdcmd://URLs for external launchers. URL handling queues early app-open events until the overlay is ready.
