# NAME
|
|
|
|
sway-input - input configuration file and commands
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Sway allows for configuration of devices within the sway configuration file.
|
|
To obtain a list of available device identifiers, run *swaymsg -t get_inputs*.
|
|
Settings can also be applied to all input devices by using the wildcard, _\*_,
|
|
in place of _\<identifier\>_ in the commands below. In addition, the settings
|
|
can be applied to a type of device, by using _type:\<input_type\>_ in place
|
|
of _\<identifier\>_.
|
|
|
|
Tip: If the configuration settings do not appear to be taking effect, you could
|
|
try using _\*_ instead of _\<identifier\>_. If it works with the wildcard, try
|
|
using a different identifier from *swaymsg -t get_inputs* until you find the
|
|
correct input device.
|
|
|
|
Current available input types are:
|
|
|
|
- touchpad
|
|
- pointer
|
|
- keyboard
|
|
- touch
|
|
- tablet_tool
|
|
- tablet_pad
|
|
- switch
|
|
|
|
Note: The type configurations are applied as the devices appear and get applied
|
|
on top of the existing device configurations.
|

# INPUT COMMANDS
|
|
|
|
## KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION
|
|
|

|
*xkeyboard-config*(7).
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> xkb_layout <layout_name>
|
|
Sets the layout of the keyboard like _us_ or _de_.
|
|
|
|

|
|
*input* <identifier> xkb_switch_layout <index>
|
|
Changes the active keyboard layout index. This can be used when multiple
|
|
layouts are configured with `xkb_layout`. A list of layouts you can switch
|
|
between can be obtained with `swaymsg -t get_inputs`.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> xkb_variant <variant>
|
|
Sets the variant of the keyboard like _dvorak_ or _colemak_.
|
|
|
|
The following commands may only be used in the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> xkb_capslock enabled|disabled
|
|
Initially enables or disables CapsLock on startup, the default is disabled.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> xkb_numlock enabled|disabled
|
|
Initially enables or disables NumLock on startup, the default is disabled.
|
|
|
|
## MAPPING CONFIGURATION
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> map_to_output <identifier>
|
|
Maps inputs from this device to the specified output. Only meaningful if the
|
|
device is a pointer, touch, or drawing tablet device.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> map_to_region <WxH@X,Y>
|
|
Maps inputs from this device to the specified region of the global output
|
|
layout. Only meaningful if the device is a pointer, touch, or drawing tablet
|
|
device.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> map_from_region <X1xY1> <X2xY2>
|
|
Ignores inputs from this device that do not occur within the specified
|
|
region. Can be in millimeters (e.g. 10x20mm 20x40mm) or in terms of 0..1
|
|
(e.g. 0.5x0.5 0.7x0.7). Not all devices support millimeters. Only meaningful
|
|
if the device is not a keyboard an provides events in absolute terms (such
|
|
as a drawing tablet or touch screen - most pointers provide events relative
|
|
to the previous frame).
|
|
|
|
## LIBINPUT CONFIGURATION
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> accel_profile adaptive|flat
|
|
Sets the pointer acceleration profile for the specified input device.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> calibration_matrix <6 space-separated floating point values>
|
|
Sets the calibtration matrix.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> click_method none|button_areas|clickfinger
|
|
Changes the click method for the specified device.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> drag enabled|disabled
|
|
Enables or disables tap-and-drag for specified input device.

|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> events enabled|disabled|disabled_on_external_mouse|toggle [<toggle-modes>]
|
|
Enables or disables send_events for specified input device. Disabling
|
|
send_events disables the input device.
|
|
|
|
The _toggle_ option cannot be used in the config. If no toggle modes are
|
|
listed, all supported modes for the device will be toggled through in the
|
|
order: enabled, disabled_on_external_mouse, disabled, (loop back). If
|
|
toggle modes are listed, they will be cycled through, defaulting to the
|
|
first mode listed if the current mode is not in the list. They will also
|
|
not be checked to see if they are supported for the device and may fail.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> left_handed enabled|disabled
|
|
Enables or disables left handed mode for specified input device.

|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> scroll_button disable|button[1-3,8,9]|<event-code-or-name>
|
|
Sets the button used for scroll_method on_button_down. The button can
|
|
be given as an event name or code, which can be obtained from `libinput
|
|
debug-events`, or as a x11 mouse button (button[1-3,8,9]). If set to
|
|
_disable_, it disables the scroll_method on_button_down.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> scroll_factor <floating point value>

|
|
## SEAT CONFIGURATION
|
|
|
|
Configure options for multiseat mode.
|
|
|
|
A *seat* is a collection of input devices that act independently of each other.
|
|
Seats are identified by name and the default seat is _seat0_ if no seats are
|
|
configured. While sway is running, _-_ (hyphen) can be used as an alias for the
|
|
current seat. Each seat has an independent keyboard focus and a separate cursor
|
|
that is controlled by the pointer devices of the seat. This is useful for
|
|
multiple people using the desktop at the same time with their own devices (each
|
|
sitting in their own "seat"). The wildcard character, _\*_, can also be used in
|
|
place of _\<identifier\>_ to change settings for all seats.
|
|
|
|
Tip: If the configuration settings do not appear to be taking effect, you could
|
|
try using _\*_ instead of _\<identifier\>_. If it works with the wildcard, try
|
|
using a different identifier from *swaymsg -t get_seats* until you find the
|
|
correct seat.
|
|
|
|
*seat* <name> attach <input_identifier>
|
|
Attach an input device to this seat by its input identifier. A special
|
|
value of "\*" will attach all devices to the seat.
|
|
|
|
*seat* <seat> cursor move|set <x> <y>
|
|
Move specified seat's cursor relative to current position or wrap to
|
|
absolute coordinates (with respect to the global coordinate space).
|
|
Specifying either value as 0 will not update that coordinate.
|
|
|
|
*seat* <seat> cursor press|release button[1-9]|<event-name-or-code>
|
|
Simulate pressing (or releasing) the specified mouse button on the
|
|
specified seat. The button can either be provided as a button event name or
|
|
event code, which can be obtained from `libinput debug-events`, or as an x11
|
|
mouse button (button[1-9]). If using button[4-7], which map to axes, an axis
|
|
event will be simulated, however _press_ and _release_ will be ignored and
|
|
both will occur.
|
|
|
|
*seat* <name> fallback true|false
|
|
Set this seat as the fallback seat. A fallback seat will attach any device
|
|
not explicitly attached to another seat (similar to a "default" seat).
|
|
|
|
*seat* <name> hide_cursor <timeout>
|
|
Hides the cursor image after the specified _timeout_ (in milliseconds)
|
|
has elapsed with no activity on that cursor. A timeout of 0 (default)
|
|
disables hiding the cursor. The minimal timeout is 100 and any value less
|
|
than that (aside from 0), will be increased to 100.
|
|
|
|
*seat* <name> pointer_constraint enable|disable|escape
|
|
Enables or disables the ability for clients to capture the cursor (enabled
|
|
by default) for the seat. This is primarily useful for video games. The
|
|
"escape" command can be used at runtime to escape from a captured client.
|
|
|
|
*seat* <name> xcursor_theme <theme> [<size>]
|
|
Override the system default XCursor theme. The default seat's
|
|
(_seat0_) theme is also used as the default cursor theme in
|
|
XWayland, and exported through the _XCURSOR_THEME_ and
|
|
_XCURSOR_SIZE_ environment variables.
