# Configuration file for libinput-gestures. # # The default configuration file exists at /etc/libinput-gestures.conf # but a user can create a personal custom configuration file at # ~/.config/libinput-gestures.conf. # # Lines starting with '#' and blank lines are ignored. Currently # "gesture" and "device" configuration keywords are supported as # described below. The keyword can optionally be appended with a ":" (to # maintain compatibility with original format configuration files). # # Each gesture line has 3 [or 4] arguments: # # action motion [finger_count] command # # where action and motion is either: # swipe up # swipe down # swipe left # swipe right # pinch in # pinch out # # command is the remainder of the line and is any valid shell command + # arguments. # # finger_count is a single numeric digit and is optional (and is # typically 3 or 4). If specified then the command is executed when # exactly that number of fingers is used in the gesture. If not # specified then the command is executed when that gesture is executed # with any number of fingers. Gesture lines specified with finger_count # have priority over the same gesture specified without any # finger_count. # # Typically command will be xdotool, or wmctrl. See "man xdotool" for # the many things you can action with that tool. Note that unfortunately # xdotool does not work with native Wayland clients. # # Note the default is an "internal" command that uses wmctrl to switch # workspaces and, unlike xdotool, works on both Xorg and Wayland (via # XWayland). It also can be configured for vertical and horizontal # switching over tabular workspaces, as per the example below. You can # also add "-w" to the internal command to allow wrapping workspaces. # Move to next workspace (works for GNOME/KDE/etc on Wayland and Xorg) # gesture swipe up _internal ws_up gesture swipe up 4 xdotool set_desktop --relative 1 # Move to prev workspace (works for GNOME/KDE/etc on Wayland and Xorg) # gesture swipe down _internal ws_down gesture swipe down 4 xdotool set_desktop --relative -- -1 # Browser go forward (works only for Xorg, and Xwayland clients) gesture swipe left 3 xdotool key Alt+Right # Browser go back (works only for Xorg, and Xwayland clients) gesture swipe right 3 xdotool key Alt+Left #gesture swipe up 4 xdotool key Super+n # Example of 8 static workspaces, e.g. using KDE virtual-desktops, # arranged in 2 rows of 4 across using swipe up/down/left/right to # navigate in fixed planes.

The # _internal command does not work for Compiz but you can explicitly # configure the swipe commands to work for a Compiz virtual 2 # dimensional desktop as follows: # gesture swipe up xdotool key ctrl+alt+Up # gesture swipe down xdotool key ctrl+alt+Down # gesture swipe left xdotool key ctrl+alt+Left # gesture swipe right xdotool key ctrl+alt+Right # GNOME SHELL open/close overview (works for GNOME on Wayland and Xorg) #gesture pinch in dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.Shell /org/gnome/Shell org.gnome.Shell.Eval string:'Main.overview.toggle();' #gesture pinch out dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.Shell /org/gnome/Shell org.gnome.Shell.Eval string:'Main.overview.toggle();' # This application normally determines your touchpad device # automatically. Some users may have multiple touchpads but by default # we use only the first one found. However, you can choose to specify # the explicit device name to use. Run libinput-list-devices to work out # the name of your device (from the "Device:" field). Then add a device # line specifying that name, e.g: # # device DLL0665:01 06CB:76AD Touchpad # # Or you can choose to use ALL touchpad devices by setting the device # name to "all". This reduces performance slightly so only set this if # you need to. # # device all
