Aw, so ....
I can see now that it is just a matter of the terminology in use.
What you say you don't do is: System's Programming.
What you say you do is: Application's Programming.
If the system's event interface provides outputs for those actions, then what you request is a matter of: Application's Programming.
The System's Programming layer(s) between you and the hardware will deal with the hardware for you.
Gestures are typically presented as if they where key presses -
So if you can handle some strange key press (? Alt-Ctrl-Mode-Shift-X ?) then you can handle a touch screen gesture.
Without even knowing it came from a touch screen.
