one finger swipe left -- change desktop (as original)
one finger swipe right -- menu
two finger swipe down -- close app
three finger swipe up -- keyboard
three finger swipe down -- close keyboard

I didn't need any of dwm's app-switching features, because I like apps to take up the full screen, so I'm essentially using the desktops like webOS cards, one app per desktop. I just flip through them with left-to-right gestures.

Since I have access to the menu at any time via the right-to-left gesture, I changed the key bindings (much reduced) to reflect my likely needs.

Here's that section:

  /* PP */
    {1,  0,  XF86XK_AudioRaiseVolume, spawn, SHCMD("sxmo_vol.sh up") },
    {1,  0,  XF86XK_AudioLowerVolume, spawn, SHCMD("sxmo_vol.sh down") },
    {1,  0,  XF86XK_PowerOff, spawn, SHCMD("sxmo_screenlock") },

I didn't touch anything else, so the power key triggers the screenlock. Hold the volume up key to turn off the screen. Click the power key a few times to unlock. I'll probably simplify that more later, if I can.

With this setup, can you still use the volume keys to scroll in dmenu? 

Also, is there some way to scroll in st? My first preference would be to use a gesture, but I'd be ok with volume up/down for that.

edit: here's a screenshot of Alpine running on PostmarketOS (Alpine Linux) running on Pinephone! Having some fun with this.

How do you change the keyboard like that? I'd like to alter the layout on mine a bit too.

I use the keyboard arrow keys to scroll in apps in st. I haven't been able to scroll back up while at the prompt (like after you cat a long file).

Edit: and thanks for the tip on the menu font size setting.
