gesticle(1) -- Configurable handlers for gestures based on libinput events

SYNOPSIS

gesticle [-d] [-c path]

DESCRIPTION

the gesticle application will send configurable key codes - via xdo - to the X server as a response to detected gestures built from libinput events.

Supported gestures are:

  • Swipes 3 and 4 finger swipes in directions up, down, left and right
  • Pinches pinches in directions in and out
  • Rotation rotations in direction left and right

CONFIGURATION

gesticle will check the configuration file based on the detected gesture and application window with current focus and if not specified will default to the non-focused wndow specific setting.

For example, if the active application window is gedit, and the detected gesture is a 3 finger swipe, the preferred setting will be gedit.swipe.down.3 and if that is not configured will look for a swipe.down.3
