actuator

Touchscreen gestures for Linux

Usage

actuator looks for a config file at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/actuator/actuator.toml. It must contain the following values:

• device_path = string Path to touchscreen device
• edge_tolerance = integer How far away from the edge of the screen counts as the edge
• min_distance = integer How far you have to swipe to count as a gesture and not a tap
• height & width = integer Height and width of device, find with evtest.

Actions

Actions are defined in the [actions] section of the config file, as action_name = command. Each action is formatted by {number of fingers}_{action type}, e.g. 1_from_top.

Possible types are from_top, from_bottom, from_left, from_right, up, down, left, right.
