Hi everyone!
I read the Debian wiki about Synaptics (
https://wiki.debian.org/fr/SynapticsTouchpad ) but I can't figure out
how to activate 3 fingers tap... I would like to create a sort of
shortcut to show Activities whenever I tap three fingers on my
touchpad. Any ideas?
My computer is:
Debian 8 Stable Gnome 64bits
LDLC Aurore BB5-I3-8-S1 Slim (Clevo W55xEU)
Intel Core i3-3120M / Intel HD Graphics 4000 / RAM 8 Go / Samsung SSD 840 120Go
frederic@frederic-laptop:~$ grep "TouchPad: buttons:" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[ 3.388] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: buttons: left
right double triple
frederic@frederic-laptop:~$ synclient -l
Parameter settings:
LeftEdge = 1767
RightEdge = 5397
TopEdge = 1637
BottomEdge = 4451
FingerLow = 25
FingerHigh = 30
MaxTapTime = 180
MaxTapMove = 234
MaxDoubleTapTime = 180
SingleTapTimeout = 180
ClickTime = 100
EmulateMidButtonTime = 75
EmulateTwoFingerMinZ = 282
EmulateTwoFingerMinW = 7
VertScrollDelta = 106
HorizScrollDelta = 106
VertEdgeScroll = 0
HorizEdgeScroll = 0
CornerCoasting = 0
VertTwoFingerScroll = 1
HorizTwoFingerScroll = 1
MinSpeed = 1
MaxSpeed = 1.75
AccelFactor = 0.0374602
TouchpadOff = 2
LockedDrags = 0
LockedDragTimeout = 5000
RTCornerButton = 0
RBCornerButton = 0
LTCornerButton = 0
LBCornerButton = 0
TapButton1 = 1
TapButton2 = 3
TapButton3 = 2
ClickFinger1 = 1
ClickFinger2 = 1
ClickFinger3 = 1
CircularScrolling = 0
CircScrollDelta = 0.1
CircScrollTrigger = 0
CircularPad = 0
PalmDetect = 0
PalmMinWidth = 10
PalmMinZ = 200
CoastingSpeed = 20
CoastingFriction = 50
PressureMotionMinZ = 30
PressureMotionMaxZ = 160
PressureMotionMinFactor = 1
PressureMotionMaxFactor = 1
GrabEventDevice = 0
TapAndDragGesture = 1
AreaLeftEdge = 0
AreaRightEdge = 0
AreaTopEdge = 0
AreaBottomEdge = 0
HorizHysteresis = 26
VertHysteresis = 26
ClickPad = 0
So, I did the first part of the job. I think I enabled the three
fingers tap by creating this file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Touchpad" # required
MatchIsTouchpad "yes" # required
Driver "synaptics" # required
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2" # multitouch
Option "TapButton3" "3" # multitouch
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1" # multitouch
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1" # multitouch
EndSection
Now, how to link it to showing Activities?
Thank you for your help!
