Is it possible to move or resize windows by touchpad like I already do with ALT + Left click (move windows) and ALT + Right click (resize windows)?
Made a search on the web but found nothing useful (apart from install some software), I mean is it possible with just libinput or other programs available on gentoo portage?
I am using xfce.

In xfce4 you can alter the key(s) needed to trigger this action.

Or what exactly do you want to happen?

Where? I can see only keyboard Application shortcuts in the xfce preferences. What I would like to do is to assign a combination of key + touchpad gesture (something like Alt + tap and move finger to move the window on the desktop).

There are shortcuts for keyboard and shortcuts for the window manager setting.

As far as I know XFCE does not provide anything to set mouse gestures to shortcuts.

Maybe this can help you: https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg

Thanks. Looks promising. I will try it.
