Hello,
I am trying to set up some gestures on my old MacBook using libinput-gesture, which I installed from repository via pacman -S libinput-gesture.
I started with a simple config file to simulate tap-to-click, that is tap simulates LMB, then 2-finger-tap → RMB etc. Currently, the libinput-gesture.conf is quite simple just of two line lines:
gesture hold on xdotool click 1 # Simulate LMB
gesture hold on 2 xdotool click 3 # Simulate RMB
It’s working, but I’m having issues with it. The old MacBook I have has a large touchpad. When I type in editors, I tend to tap the touchpad and in turn move a cursor to location, where a pointer is–I start typing and suddenly continue in a different pace. I thought I would change the first gesture into something like this:
gesture hold on+0.3 1 xdotool click 1 # Hold to simulate LMB
# ...
so I would hold finger for 300 ms and then simulate LMB but libinput-gesture reports the following error
Gesture hold does not support motion on+0.2
This is a little strange because I can see on Git - libinput-gestures the last row of the table clearly states I could use the format on+N to delay gesture with N being in secs.
Anyone knows how to solve it?
A different problem is I would also like to simulate tap-to-move gesture to make selections when I tap and start moving in editors. Is it even possble?
Thanks
