# lisgd

|

|
|
Lisgd (libinput **synthetic** gesture daemon) lets you bind gestures based on
|
||
|
|
libinput touch events to run specific commands to execute. For example,
|
||
|
|
dragging left to right with one finger could execute a particular command
|
||
|
|
like launching a terminal. L-R, R-L, U-D, and D-U swipe gestures are
|
||
|
|
supported with 1 through n fingers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unlike other libinput gesture daemons, lisgd uses touch events to
|
||
|
|
recognize **synthetic swipe gestures** rather than using the *libinput*'s
|
||
|
|
gesture events. The advantage of this is that the synthetic gestures
|
||
|
|
you define via lisgd can be used on touchscreens, which normal libinput
|
||
|
|
gestures don't support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This program was built for use on the [Pinephone](); however it could be
|
||
|
|
used in general for any device that supports touch events, like laptop
|
||
|
|
touchscreens or similar. You may want to adjust the threshold depending
|
||
|
|
on the device you're using.

## Configuration
|
||
|
|
Configuration can be done in two ways:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Through a suckless style `config.h`; see the `config.def.h`
|
||
|
|
2. Through commandline flags which override the default config.h values
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Suckless-style config.h based configuration
|
||
|
|
Example `config.def.h` configuration -- e.g. copy this to `config.h`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Commandline flags based configuration
|
||
|
|
Flags:
|
||
|
|
- **-g [fingers,start,end,command]**: Defines a gestures wherein fingers is a integer, start/end are {l,r,d,u}, and command is the command to execute
|
||
|
|
- Example: `lisgd -g "1,l,r,notify-send swiped lr" -g "1,r,l,noitfy-send swiped rl"`
|
||
|
|
- **-d [devicenodepath]**: Defines the dev filesystem device to monitor
|
||
|
|
- Example: `lisgd -d /dev/input/input1`
|
||
|
|
- **-t [threshold_units]**: Number of libinput units (number) minimum to recognize a gesture
|
||
|
|
- Example: `lisgd -t 400`
|
||
|
|
- **-v**: Verbose mode, useful for debugging
|
||
|
|
- Example: `lisgd -v`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Full commandline-based configuration example:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
lisgd -d /dev/input/input1 -g "1,left,right,notify-send swiped lr" -t 200 -v
|
||
|
|
```

||
