# Touchegg

Touchegg is a multitouch gesture program, that runs as a user in the background, and adds multitouch support to window managers.

## installation

Base package: touchegg in AUR.

GUI configuration, Touchegg-GCE [1]: touchegg-gce-git in AUR

## configuration

The configuration file is found in `$HOME/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf`.

It is a basic XML file that defines various gestures. Please note that at this time `TAP_AND_HOLD`, `PINCH`, and `ROTATE`, do not appear to work.

The list of triggers can be found here

The list of actions can be found here

#### Gnome Shell

Very basic so far. This should give you basic functionality. Hopefully we can update this for complete application support.

edit `$HOME/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf` add this:

    <gesture type="DRAG" fingers="1" direction="ALL">
                <action type="DRAG_AND_DROP">BUTTON=1</action>
            </gesture>

and then edit this entry:

    <gesture type="DRAG" fingers="2" direction="ALL">
                <action type="SCROLL">SPEED=7:INVERTED=true</action>
            </gesture>

then have touchegg start on login: 1. hit `alt-f2` 2. type `gnome-session-properties` 3. hit `add` 4. In the box labeled "Command" type `touchegg`. Fill in "Name" and "Label" as you choose. 5. Hit `OK`
