configuration issue #14

Closed thomarse-ef closed 2 years ago

thomarse-ef commented 4 years ago

I'm trying to set up the config file. The command stdbuf -oL libinput debug-events|grep switch doesn't work on my machine (terminal just runs indefinitely no matter what I do with the laptop). ls -lh /dev/input/by-path output is:

`total 0

I'm not sure what I'm meant to put as input_device?

Then I also don't know what to put in the next bit. I want to configure the onscreen keyboard to become active in tablet mode and then to turn off in laptop mode. I've searched but can't find the command to switch the onscreen keyboard on. Any idea how to do this?

FYI I'm running Manjaro Gnome and installed the package from AUR.

Thanks.

If stdbuf -oL libinput debug-events|grep switch doesn't return anything, your device is not supported.
