## Description
At the end, the performed stroke is compared against all active triggers' strokes and the trigger with the highest stroke match (must be at least 70%) is ended,
while all others are cancelled. Only ``on: end`` actions are supported.

Strokes can be recorded using the stroke recorder at *System Settings* -> *Desktop Effects* -> *Input Actions (configure)* or DBus: ``qdbus org.inputactions / recordStroke``.

If ``on: begin`` or ``on: update`` actions are required, use [](swipe) instead. Stroke triggers are not compatible with swipe triggers, only one type 
may be active at a time.
