ferstar/gestures: Fast touchpad gesture tool

This fork repo mainly focus on the performance of three-figure-dragging feature.

for more tech details, please vist this discussion: riley-martin#6

My own compiled binaries(maybe not too synchronized with the latest source code）and configuration can be found at https://github.com/ferstar/gestures/releases

OR, you can install(compile) it with cargo by yourself like this: cargo install --git https://github.com/ferstar/gestures.git

NOTE: ONLY WORKS ON X11, NO WAYLAND SUPPORT YET! Now support both Xorg and Wayland(with the help of ydotool power)

This is a program for intercepting touchpad gestures and executing commands based on them. Unlike some alternatives, it directly uses the libinput api rather than parsing the output of libinput debug-events.

gestures is able to handle libinput swipe events; not only vertical and horizontal but diagonal as well.

• Handle libinput events
  • Swipe events; vertical, horizontal and diagonal
  • Pinch events
  • Hold events
  • Rotate events
  • Continuous and one-shot events
• Config file

See config.md for configuration instructions.

Linux. The testing workflow runs on Ubuntu and I test it myself on Artix Linux Nixos, but it should work on any distro if it uses the libinput touchpad driver rather than the older synaptics driver.
Note: If your DE/WM has its own touchpad gestures system, it may need to be disabled to prevent conflicts.

If you are using flakes, simply add gestures.url = "github:ferstar/gestures"; to your flake inputs and add inputs.gestures.packages.${system}.gestures to your home.packages or environment.systemPackages. You can also create a service in systemd.user.services.

You may need to install libudev and libinput, or their equivalant for your distro, and possibly the dev versions as well.

If you have cargo installed, simply use cargo install --git https://github.com/ferstar/gestures.git

• Clone the repo

  • git clone https://github.com/ferstar/gestures && cd gestures

• Build

  • cargo build --release

• Copy ./target/release/gestures to a convenient place and execute it

Drop examples/gestures.service into ~/.config/systemd/user/gestures.service and modify it for your system (mainly the "$HOME" environment variable and the ExecStart will need changed). To have it start automatically, run systemctl --user enable --now gestures.service.

I haven't used any other init systems, but the service is quite simple so it should be easy to modify for other systems.

Here are some alternatives with similar features.

• libinput-gestures Parses output of libinput debug-events rather than using libinput api.
• gebaar Only supports swipe gestures
• gebaar-libinput-fork Fork of gebaar which supports other gestures
• fusuma Also parses libinput debug-events output
