Is there any way to create a gesture shortcut to open Bixby. I use Nova so there's no way to swipe right to open it. Sometimes I have my phone on a charging stand and would like to open Bixby without having to use the dedicated button. I would really like something like a double tap gesture to open Bixby.
 
In Widgets Nova launcher has several options for shortcuts. Try one to place on your desktop.
Should be first Widget when you open.
 
I tried to set up the swipe up as a short cut to open bixby. I could only get it to open the help menu through the packages it had listed.

A work around might be using Tasker in conjunction with Nova. you set the swipe to do a Tasker function, which would be to open up bixby. In tasker you should be able to find the right package to enable this action
 
If you want to get really creative, you could always dive into klwp and set up a wallpaper that is programmed to open bixby when you swipe right from your home screen, maybe I will spend some time later and try and program this and see if I can get it to work.
