Trackpad Gestures
Working on Dell XPS 13
Following Medium article: Mac-like Gestures on Ubuntu 20.04 Dell XPS 15
Add your user to the input group:
sudo gpasswd -a $USER input
Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libinput-tools xdotool
Install libinput gestures:
git clone https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures.git
cd libinput-gestures
sudo make install
sudo ./libinput-gestures-setup install
Start the software and allow it to run at startup.
libinput-gestures-setup autostart
libinput-gestures-setup start
Next install a UI tool to make adding and editing gestures easier.
git clone https://gitlab.com/cunidev/gestures
cd gestures
sudo python3 setup.py install
Open the new program called ‘gestures’ from your activities menu.
These are the gestures you will need to emulate a mac-like experience.
Configuration file in dotfiles: Gestures.conf
- 3-finger swipe up
- xdotool key super
- 3-finger swipe down
- xdotool key Escape
- 3-finger swipe right
- xdotool key 'ctrl+alt+Left'
- 3-finger swipe left
- xdotool key 'ctrl+alt+Right'
- 3-finger pinch out
- xdotool key 'ctrl+plus'
- 3-finger ping in
- xdotool key 'ctrl+minus'
- 4-finger swipe left
- xdotool key 'alt+Left'
- 4-finger swipe right
- xdotool key 'alt+Right'
Next you may notice the workspaces are ontop of each other instead of side-by-side like MacOS. To fix this we will need to install a gnome extension named workspace matrix available here.
Now restart your system and you should be able to move workspaces, left and right using the three finger gesture or ctrl+alt + left or right arrows.
