This patch is really static and forces this three finger behaviour.
Naming it »swipe« and having some swipe behaviour array in the
config.h would be more suckless style than enforcing this in the
routine in surf.c. Could you consider making this more modular?

Btw. »3 fingers« is really racist to people only having two or just one
finger. We can’t stand this. The two finger movement will catch you. We
really need 2finger.suckless.org to encounter this whole touch and
tablet discrimination. 105 keys can be more easily used by one finger
persons.
