mouse-scroll-wheel-acceleration-userspace VS Fusuma

If you want to have mouse scroll wheel acceleration, you might be interested in a small project of mine: https://github.com/albertz/mouse-scroll-wheel-acceleration-u...

I'm using this all the time on non-Mac platforms. Once you get used to this, it's hard to get back.

But I'm still waiting that such a feature gets more built into the core, e.g. libinput or so.

Regarding quickly scrolling around in a large document, there is also scroll wheel acceleration, i.e. the users finger scroll speed is not just a linear function mapped onto the software scroll speed but rather it can accelerate.

MacOS, iOS and Android have this anyway, and a few custom software as well.

I implemented a cross platform user-space variant of this, to get mouse scroll wheel acceleration. You can even use this in addition to the native scroll wheel acceleration on MacOS.

Turn on adaptive acceleration. Enable gestures. Look into this project that ports macOS-style scrolling acceleration to X11 and Wayland: https://github.com/albertz/mouse-scroll-wheel-acceleration-userspace

I never had an iPod, but I wonder, did it use some acceleration scheme? I.e. your physical scroll speed was not just linearly mapped to the virtual scroll speed but some quadratic or even exponential scheme?

Because I know that they do the same on OSX for scrolling, i.e. scrolling has an acceleration scheme, which I very much enjoy, and always miss when I'm on other operating systems.

For that reason, I implemented such scroll acceleration in user space. Some further details and references are in the README. https://github.com/albertz/mouse-scroll-wheel-acceleration-u...

Workaround: https://github.com/albertz/mouse-scroll-wheel-acceleration-userspace. Enables inertia in Chromium and Qt apps, but breaks it in GTK apps (fun!).

Good video, but I find https://github.com/albertz/mouse-scroll-wheel-acceleration-userspace a much better solution.

I don't think there are native gestures in qtile. I use fusuma, since it works better for me on X11 and wayland, but I've also used libinput-gestures in the past when on X11, and that works too.

I'm new to linux, running last version of ubuntu MATE. Tried to get fusuma to have a better experience with my touchpad (I'm using hp notebook). I followed the whole guide for ubuntu on the Github page, created the config.yml using these two commands:

For info, I've been using Fusuma to configure my touchpad gestures and it is awesome!

https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma this might do the job? I have been using it on Hyprland and, despite the downside of being in Ruby, it works really well and seems stable.

I use Fusuma to manage gestures and have deactivated the COSMIC gestures extension.

The gestures are interpretations of the touch signals that the trackpad provides, and those signals are available to your computer. The gestures and their functions are features of the operating system, but you can define your own gesture with tools like https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma. Are you mad that the Magic Trackpad does not come with a full set of gesture support for Mint, Gnome, i3, or any of the gosh hundreds of window managers out there? What would you expect to happen to resolve this complaint?

I like using fusuma.

Thx! I actually looked at this, but it only can emulate shortcuts pressing, as I get it. Instead I tried https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma which has more features and works perfectly with Hyprland.

I use Fusuma to configure my gestures and it is awesome!

you can install fusuma (https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma) and add their i3 config (https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma/wiki/i3) for a start
