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.

    sudo apt-get install libinput-tools libxdo-dev

  2. Clone this repository

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

    bash install

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

How to Run

  1. Make sure ~/.local/bin/ is added to your PATH.

  2. Run

    comfortable-swipe start

Permissions

Sometimes, you'll need some permissions to read touchpad input data.

  1. Find out your permission group with ls -l /dev/input/event*

    $ ls -l /dev/input/event*

crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 64 Oct 23 23:09 /dev/input/event0
crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 65 Oct 23 23:09 /dev/input/event1

crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 67 Oct 23 23:09 /dev/input/event3

  2. Check the fourth column (e.g. input) then run

    sudo gpasswd -a $USER input

  3. Important: Log out / Log back in
