# NAME
|
|
|
|
sway-input - input configuration file and commands
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Sway allows for configuration of devices within the sway configuration file.
|
|
sway-input commands must be used inside an _input { }_ block in the config.
|
|
To obtain a list of available device identifiers, run *swaymsg -t get\_inputs*.

# INPUT COMMANDS
|
|
|
|
## KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION
|
|
|
|
For more information on these xkb configuration options, see
|
|
*xkeyboard-config*(7).
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> xkb\_layout <layout\_name>
|
|
Sets the layout of the keyboard like _us_ or _de_.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> xkb\_model <model\_name>
|
|
Sets the model of the keyboard. This has an influence for some extra keys
|
|
your keyboard might have.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> xkb\_options <options>
|
|
Sets extra xkb configuration options for the keyboard.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> xkb\_rules <rules>
|
|
Sets files of rules to be used for keyboard mapping composition.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> xkb\_variant <variant>
|
|
Sets the variant of the keyboard like _dvorak_ or _colemak_.
|
|
|
|
## 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> click\_method none|button\_areas|clickfinger
|
|
Changes the click method for the specified device.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> drag\_lock enabled|disabled
|
|
Enables or disables drag lock for specified input device.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> dwt enabled|disabled
|
|
Enables or disables disable-while-typing for the specified input device.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> events enabled|disabled|disabled\_on\_external\_mouse
|
|
Enables or disables send_events for specified input device. (Disabling
|
|
send_events disables the input device)
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> left\_handed enabled|disabled
|
|
Enables or disables left handed mode for specified input device.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> middle\_emulation enabled|disabled
|
|
Enables or disables middle click emulation.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> natural\_scroll enabled|disabled
|
|
Enables or disables natural (inverted) scrolling for the specified input
|
|
device.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> pointer\_accel [<-1|1>]
|
|
Changes the pointer acceleration for the specified input device.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> repeat\_delay <milliseconds>
|
|
Sets the amount of time a key must be held before it starts repeating.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> repeat\_rate <characters per second>
|
|
Sets the frequency of key repeats once the repeat\_delay has passed.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> scroll\_method none|two\_finger|edge|on\_button\_down
|
|
Changes the scroll method for the specified input device.
|
|
|
|
*input* <identifier> tap enabled|disabled
|
|
Enables or disables tap for specified input device.
|
|
|
|
## SEAT CONFIGURATION
|
|
|
|
Configure options for multiseat mode. sway-seat commands must be used inside a
|
|
_seat { }_ block in the config.
|
|
|
|
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. 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").
|
|
|
|
*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* <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).
