+# Configuration file for libinput-gestures.
+#
+# The default configuration file exists at /etc/libinput-gestures.conf
+# but a user can create a personal custom configuration file at
+# ~/.config/libinput-gestures.conf.
+#
+# Lines starting with '#' and blank lines are ignored. Currently
+# "gesture" and "device" configuration keywords are supported as
+# described below. The keyword can optionally be appended with a ":" (to
+# maintain compatibility with original format configuration files).
+#
+# Each gesture line has 3 [or 4] arguments separated by whitespace:
+#
+# action motion [finger_count] command
+#
+# where action and motion is either:
+#     swipe up
+#     swipe down
+#     swipe left
+#     swipe right
+#     pinch in
+#     pinch out
+#
+# command is the remainder of the line and is any valid shell command +
+# arguments.
+#
+# finger_count is a single numeric digit and is optional (and is
+# typically 3 or 4). If specified then the command is executed when
+# exactly that number of fingers is used in the gesture. If not
+# specified then the command is executed when that gesture is executed
+# with any number of fingers. Gesture lines specified with finger_count
+# have priority over the same gesture specified without any
+# finger_count.
+#
+# Typically command will be xdotool, or wmctrl. See "man xdotool" for
+# the many things you can action with that tool. Note that unfortunately
+# xdotool does not work with native Wayland clients.
+
+###############################################################################
+# SWIPE GESTURES:
+###############################################################################
+
+# Note the default is an "internal" command that uses wmctrl to switch
+# workspaces and, unlike xdotool, works on both Xorg and Wayland (via
+# XWayland). It also can be configured for vertical and horizontal
+# switching over tabular workspaces, as per the example below. You can
+# also add "-w" to the internal command to allow wrapping workspaces.
+
+# Move to next workspace (works for GNOME/KDE/etc on Wayland and Xorg)
+gesture swipe up	_internal ws_up
+
+# NOTE ABOUT FINGER COUNT:
+# The above command will configure this command for all fingers (i.e. 3
+# for 4) but to configure it for 3 fingers only, change it to:
+# gesture swipe up	3 _internal ws_up
+# Then you can configure something else for 4 fingers or leave 4 fingers
+# unconfigured. You can configure an explicit finger count like this for
+# all example commands in this configuration file.
+#
+# gesture swipe up	xdotool key super+Page_Down
+
+# Move to prev workspace (works for GNOME/KDE/etc on Wayland and Xorg)
+gesture swipe down	_internal ws_down
+# gesture swipe down	xdotool key super+Page_Up
+
+# Browser go forward (works only for Xorg, and Xwayland clients)
+gesture swipe left	4 xdotool key alt+control+Left
+
+# Browser go back (works only for Xorg, and Xwayland clients)
+gesture swipe right	4 xdotool key alt+control+Right
+
+# NOTE: If you don't use "natural" scrolling direction for your touchpad
+# then you may want to swap the above default left/right and up/down
+# configurations.
+
+# Optional extended swipe gestures, e.g. for browser tab navigation:
+#
+# Jump to next open browser tab
+# gesture swipe right_up xdotool key control+Tab
+#
+# Jump to previous open browser tab
+# gesture swipe left_up xdotool key control+shift+Tab
+#
+# Close current browser tab
+# gesture swipe left_down xdotool key control+w
+#
+# Reopen and jump to last closed browser tab
+# gesture swipe right_down xdotool key control+shift+t
+
+# Example of 8 static workspaces, e.g. using KDE virtual-desktops,
+# arranged in 2 rows of 4 across using swipe up/down/left/right to
+# navigate in fixed planes. Must match how you have configured your
+# virtual desktops.
+# gesture swipe up	_internal --col=2 ws_up
+# gesture swipe down	_internal --col=2 ws_down
+# gesture swipe left	_internal --row=4 ws_up
+# gesture swipe right	_internal --row=4 ws_down
+
+# Example virtual desktop switching for Ubuntu Unity/Compiz. The
+# _internal command does not work for Compiz but you can explicitly
+# configure the swipe commands to work for a Compiz virtual 2
+# dimensional desktop as follows:
+# gesture swipe up	xdotool key ctrl+alt+Up
+# gesture swipe down	xdotool key ctrl+alt+Down
+# gesture swipe left	xdotool key ctrl+alt+Left
+# gesture swipe right	xdotool key ctrl+alt+Right
+
+# Example to change audio volume:
+# Note this only works on an Xorg desktop (not Wayland).
+# gesture swipe up   xdotool key XF86AudioRaiseVolume
+# gesture swipe down xdotool key XF86AudioLowerVolume

+###############################################################################
+# This application normally determines your touchpad device
+# automatically. Some users may have multiple touchpads but by default
+# we use only the first one found. However, you can choose to specify
+# the explicit device name to use. Run "libinput list-devices" to work
+# out the name of your device (from the "Device:" field). Then add a
+# device line specifying that name, e.g:
+#
+# device DLL0665:01 06CB:76AD Touchpad
+#
+# If the device name starts with a '/' then it is instead considered as
+# the explicit device path although since device paths can change
+# through reboots this is best to be a symlink. E.g. instead of specifying
+# /dev/input/event12, use the corresponding full path link under
+# /dev/input/by-path/*.
+#
+# You can choose to use ALL touchpad devices by setting the device name
+# to "all". E.g. Do this if you have multiple touchpads which you want
+# to use in parallel. This reduces performance slightly so only set this
+# if you have to.
+#
+# device all

+# You can set a minimum travel distance threshold before swipe gestures
+# are actioned using the swipe_threshold configuration command.
+# Specify this value in dots. The default is 0.
+# E.g. set it to 100 dots with "swipe_threshold 100".
+# swipe_threshold 0
