A Python utility that reads libinput touchpad gestures and maps them to user-configured shell commands, typically xdotool key combinations. It lets Linux users bind swipe gestures to actions like workspace switching or browser navigation.
Use cases
- map touchpad swipe gestures to keyboard shortcuts on linux
- switch workspaces with three-finger swipe
- configure custom touchpad gestures on arch linux
- bind touchpad gestures to browser back and forward
- run shell commands from touchpad gestures
When to choose
- you use Xorg or XWayland on Linux and want configurable touchpad gestures
- your desktop environment lacks built-in gesture customization
- you want gestures to trigger arbitrary shell commands
When to avoid
- you need touchscreen gesture support, which libinput does not provide
- you are on a non-Linux platform
- you need full native Wayland gesture support
