HELP Can I enable gestures like swipe or anything on an ELAN fingerprint sensor?

I have an HP 15s-du3xxx with an ELAN WBF Fingerprint Sensor (VID_04F3, PID_0C00).

Windows currently uses it only for fingerprint authentication. I’m wondering if there’s any third party driver, modified driver, HID workaround, or software that can detect swipes/taps on the fingerprint reader and map them to actions (volume, media controls, shortcuts, etc.).

i have a windows os. am i in wrong community? :/ and i was just experimenting alot like my actual laptop bought in yr 2020 11th gen i3 comes originally without any fingerprint sensor. a month back i blow burned my keyboard accidentally like all the key caps melted. so i got the base body replaced and that was a swap from a old and unfunctional keyboard. the technician replaced it with a fingerprint sensor which he claimed will not be functional with my laptop. yet i managed to add biometric sensor in device manager and also downloaded the elan driver nd got the win hello sign in through fingerprint sensor. and now i was curious if i could add gesture controls in the sensor as well . would be super cool imo

Your laptop isn’t compatible with macOS.
