@LiveLife378 3 года назад

great job! Straight forward without excessive explanation. Thank you! Any thought on creating video on how to create the nice terminal prompts you have there. Also the what is the app launcher your using? plank? I just subscribed ... keep it up.

@MyReviews_karkan 3 года назад

Hey there. Glad you've found the video useful. It did take a lot of work to make. That terminal is achieved by replacing bash shell with fish shell and making it default. Then install the theme tidal. I don't recommend doing that, though, as fish shell breaks the system badly if it is set to default instead of bash. I couldn't even recover my laptop from a timeshift restore. On a side note, I need to start making more videos. Life has been extremely busy with the day job and two kids :/ Thanks for subbing.

@MrTswilly 3 года назад

Thanks for the video, it was very helpful :). I was able to configure "ctr+plus" to zoom in by pinching out, however "ctrl+minus" does not work when I pinch in; do you have any idea why by any chance ? (I'm using manjaro KDE plasma)

@MyReviews_karkan 3 года назад

You're welcome. Glad it has worked for you. Make sure to type Control (with a capital C) Plus = 0x002b Minus = 0x002d I just tried it and both work. It is a little finicky, but it works. You just have to be precise. You can try using 3 fingers, too. So for zooming in use this (pinch out with 2 fingers or 3): xdotool key Control+0x002b For zooming out (pinch in with 2 fingers or 3): xdotool key Control+0x002d

@MrTswilly 3 года назад

@@MyReviews_karkan Thank you very much for the fast reply :D. I did try with both the "xdotool key Control+0x002d" form and "xdotool key ctrl+minus" already but with no success. I've tried with 3 finger pinch as well. It seems really weird because using the exact same style/form/manner, the zooming in works fine. Manually pressing ctrl + minus does work so it doesn't seem like an issue with the minus key itself either. I've also tried to test if it was an issue with detecting the "pinching in" gesture but it's not the case because I'm able to zoom in using that gesture.

@MyReviews_karkan 3 года назад

@@MrTswilly No problem, I don't have a million sub, so I can answer very quickly 😂️..... But not sure to be honest. It is working on my end. I noticed that you have to swipe in a certain way and very precisely for it to work. Another solution is that you can just assign a 4 finger swipe to it. Let's say swipe up with 4 fingers zooms in and swipe down with 4 fingers zooms out. See if that works (if you are not already using 4 fingers swipe for something else)

@MrTswilly 3 года назад

@@MyReviews_karkan Haha ^^ fair enough, I really sincerely appreciate the help nonetheless. I've just tried replacing the gestures by 4 finger swipe up/down for zoom in/out and I still have the same issue of zoom out not working (zoom in still works). Mmmm... maybe the minus key on my keyboard is not mapped as "minus" or "0x002d" ? I'm very confused. I've been trying to work this out for almost 2 hours now hahaha I've just tried typing xdotool type '-' in the terminal to see what comes out and - does come out properly.... :O

doesn't starts "libinput-gestures failed to start as a user device". I'm added into input group. And when I'm trying running gui app, under my created gesture it is written "Unsupported on Wayland sessions"

i have manjaro and i get unsupported on wayland sessions. How to fix it?

@MyReviews_karkan 3 года назад

Yeah, it doesn't work that well on Wayland. Especially if you are running gnome. There is a way, though. Look towards the bottom of the github page where it says "Wayland and other notes" and read from there. github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures

@donnikitosCom 2 года назад

Attention: this method only works with X11 (libinput only supports X11) Not for Wayland users (Gnome)

@MyReviews_karkan 2 года назад

Thanks for that.

@CjqNslXUcM 2 года назад

libinput works fine on my kde wayland session, but xdotool doesn't

@yunggbx 3 года назад

Great video! However, why can't we create gestures using two fingers swipe? I'm on Manjaro KDE and noticed that yours is also disabled

@MyReviews_karkan 3 года назад

Because two fingers gestures are a part of the system already. You use those to scroll through the whole UI elements like your file explorer and web browser.

@yunggbx 3 года назад

@@MyReviews_karkan I thought about that, but on the touchpad options there's the option to disable horizontal scrolling, shouldn't marking that option allow us to at least add horizontal two finger swipe gestures?

@MyReviews_karkan 3 года назад

Disabling Horizontal scrolling doesn't mean disabling two finger swipe scrolling, it just means no more scrolling Horizontally.

@dijaym 3 года назад

However the built-in gesture feature on Gnome Wayland overrides libinput-gestures so that doesn't work properly on Gnome Wayland. Anyone who knows how to disable the built-in gesture feature on Wayland?

@MyReviews_karkan 3 года назад

The Wayland gestures are kinda impossible to disable since they're hard coded into mutter. Are you able to switch to xorg on your distro? If so, do it and libinput gestures will work just fine.
