```
|
|
comfortable-swipe start
|
|
```
|
|
4. _Optional_: Automatically run on startup

|
```
|
|
comfortable-swipe autostart
|
|
```
|
|
5. _Optional_: Change keyboard [configurations](#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.
