Comfortable Swipe (Ubuntu)

License: GPL v3

Comfortable, seamless, and fast 3-finger (and 4-finger) touchpad swipe gestures for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and beyond. May work for other Linux distros that support libinput.

Installation

  1. Install git, libinput, and g++

    sudo apt-get install git libinput-tools libxdo-dev g++

    git clone https://github.com/Hikari9/comfortable-swipe-ubuntu.git
cd comfortable-swipe-ubuntu

  3. Install

    bash install

  4. You may delete the downloaded comfortable-swipe-ubuntu folder after installation.

How to Run

  1. You'll need some group permissions to read touchpad input data. Run 
    sudo gpasswd -a $USER $(ls -l /dev/input/event* | awk '{print $4}' | head --line=1)
  2. Important: After inputing your sudo password, log out then log back in
  3. Run 
    comfortable-swipe start
  4. Optional: Automatically run on startup 
    comfortable-swipe autostart
  5. Optional: Change keyboard configurations. After making changes, run

Taken from man xdotool:

Type a given keystroke. Examples being "alt+r", "Control_L+J", "ctrl+alt+n", "BackSpace".

Generally, any valid X Keysym string will work. Multiple keys are separated by '+'. Aliases exist for "alt", "ctrl", "shift", "super", and "meta" which all map to Foo_L, such as Alt_L and Control_L, etc.

In cases where your keyboard doesn't actually have the key you want to type, xdotool will automatically find an unused keycode and use that to type the key.

Refer to https://www.linux.org/threads/xdotool-keyboard.10528/ for a complete list of keycodes you can use.

Uninstall

Download the uninstall script then run bash uninstall
