## How to add touchpad gestures on Arch Linux and KDE Plasma
|
||||
|
||||
Following this very old tutorial I wanted to see if I could create a touchpad gesture on Arch Linux and KDE Plasma 6.

My goal was to have a similar gesture to macOS's three finger swipe up to open so-called Mission Control, just like the application overview on Plasma (default shortcut is Meta+W).
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the `libinput-gestures` package from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libinput-gestures
|
||||
(I use yay for that.`
|
||||
# `yay -S libinput-gesture`
|
||||
(I use yay for that.
|
||||
`# yay -S libinput-gesture`
|
||||
2. Install xdotool to bind gestures to virtual key strokes and/or optionally wmctrl for libinput-gestures internal commands.
|
||||
# `pacman -S xdotool wmctrl`
|
||||
`# pacman -S xdotool wmctrl`
|
||||
3. Add the current user to the input group:
|
||||
# `gpasswd -a $USER input`
|
||||
`# gpasswd -a $USER input`
|
||||
4. Start libinput-gestures and make it autostart at login:
|
||||
$ `libinput-gestures-setup autostart start`
|
||||
5. Copy the default config file to your $HOME.
|
||||
# `cp /etc/libinput-gestures.conf ~/.config/libinput-gestures.conf`
|
||||
`# cp /etc/libinput-gestures.conf ~/.config/libinput-gestures.conf`
|
||||
6. Edit the file and add a gesture. For example the following:
|
||||
` gesture swipe up 3 xdotool key super+w`
|
||||
`gesture swipe up 3 xdotool key super+w`
|
||||
7. Restart libinput-gestures:
|
||||
$ `libinput-gestures-setup restart`
|
||||
8. Now when swiping up on your touchpad using three finger, xdotool is pressing the Super- or Meta-Key and "W", whih opens the application overview.
