+ | Currently only touchpads using the Synaptics driver are supported. | ||

+ | === General === | ||
+ | ? Disable touchpad while typing | ||
+ | ! Turn the touchpad off while typing to prevent accidental clicks. The settings daemon will start the following command in the background when enabled: '' | ||
+ | ? Tap touchpad to click | ||
+ | ! When this option is selected, tapping the touchpad with your finger will preform the same action as clicking the primary mouse button. The device property '' | ||

+ | ? Two-finger scrolling | ||

+ | Currently only devices using the Wacom driver are supported. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ? Tracking mode | ||
+ | ? Pen (absolute) | ||
+ | ! In absolute mode the active area of the tablet will be mapped to the screen. Every time you go down to the tablet at the same point with an absolute device the pointer will appear at the same point of the screen. | ||
+ | ? Mouse (relative) | ||
+ | ! In relative mode the tablet has the behavior of a mouse. This means, that if you take the pen off from the surface, move it and go down again, the pointer does (ideally) not move. | ||
+ | ? Rotation | ||
+ | ? None (right-handed) | ||
+ | ! The tablet is not rotated in software and uses its natural rotation. | ||
+ | ? Half (left-handed) | ||
+ | ! The tablet is rotated by 180 degrees (upside-down). | ||
+ | ? Clockwise | ||
+ | ! The tablet is rotated 90 degrees clockwise. | ||
+ | ? Counterclockwise | ||
+ | ! The tablet is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise. | ||

+ | ? Threshold | ||
+ | ! The number of pixels the pointer must move before a drag operation will start. Default value is 8 pixels. | ||

+ | === Double Click === | ||
+ | |||
+ | ? Time | ||
+ | ! Two mouse clicks in less than this length of time (in milliseconds) will be considered a double click. Default value is 250 ms. | ||
+ | ? Distance | ||
+ | ! The mouse pointer cannot move farther than this distance between two clicks for them to be considered a double click. Default value is 4 pixels. | ||

+ | Select your preferred mouse theme. It is wise to log out and log in after a mouse theme change, so all applications pick up the new cursors. | ||

+ | ===== Device Properties ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Synaptics and Wacom interface in the dialogs shows only the most important settings, but there are a lot more settings for input devices you can control. Xfsettingsd is capable of setting all sorts of device properties; however, you have to manually set them in the pointers [[xfce: | ||
+ | |||
+ | First you need to find the correct device using the '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | $ xinput list | ||
+ | Virtual core pointer | ||
+ | Virtual core XTEST pointer | ||
+ | SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad | ||
+ | Virtual core keyboard | ||
+ | Virtual core XTEST keyboard | ||
+ | Power Button | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now let's assume you want to modify a special property of the touchpad, lets say the coasting speed. If you run the command below it will show a long list with all the different properties. | ||
+ | |||
+ | $ xinput list-props " | ||
+ | Device ' | ||
+ | [...] | ||
+ | Synaptics Coasting Speed (274): 45.000000 | ||
+ | Synaptics Scrolling Distance (252): 100, 100 | ||
+ | [...] | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next, it translates the names into a valid [[xfce: | ||
+ | |||
+ | As you can see the value above is stored as a double (45.000), so to disable coasting you have to run the following [[xfce: | ||
+ | |||
+ | xfconf-query -c pointers -p / | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | In case the device property is an array, it will be show like '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | xfconf-query -c pointers -p / | ||
