SEND_KEYS Not Working & No 3,4,5 finger gestures #198

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Im running Arch linux, with Gnome 3, and using package 1.1.1-2 provided through 
AUR. 

Whenever I assign a key to send_keys, it does not preform the action.  In 
terminal touchegg states "SEND_KEYS".  Specifically the two finger Right and 
Left scroll for back and forward for web browsers.

I reassigned them to back and forward mouse clicks and it works as expected ( 
thanks for providing that option BTW ).  However I can not use Send_Keys for 
anything.

I looked into the c++ header for SEND_KEYS and it does not have any useful 
information.  What system calls does Send_Keys use?  Arch does a minimalist 
install of everything so I would not be suprised if I am missing a package. 

Also 3 & 4 finger gestures are not recognized. I am using Gnome 3, I read that 
Unity reserves them for itself.  Is this the case with Gnome 3 as well?  I 
simply want a three finger drag to move a window.

Thanks for the app, Im loving it dispite having issues!

Try to run 

  synclient TapButton2=0
  synclient TapButton3=0
  synclient ClickFinger2=0
  synclient ClickFinger3=0
  synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=0
  synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=0

As specified in the FAQ: http://code.google.com/p/touchegg/wiki/FAQ to allow 
Touchégg to receive gestures with 2 and 3 fingers.

What kind of trackpad are you using? probably uTouch not support 4/5 touches 
for your hardware.
To send key Touchégg uses the library "X11/extensions/XTest.h" (libxtst-dev 
package in Ubuntu)

I have libxtst installed :/ I mostly want it to open a new tab in terminal when 
I swipe right.  

I had to use those commands to enable touchegg to begin with.  I have a samsung 
5 series with Elantech Trackpad.  It uses synaptic.  It has the notorious Uvdev 
driver doesnt move mouse issue.  But I was able to launch touchegg while 
running Uvdev and it picks up 2 finger gestures but nothing else.  Thats why Im 
thinking gnome is blocking it.

Can you attach your configuration file, and the Touchégg output when you 
perform the 2 fingers right drag gesture please? Do you have the same problem 
in other desktop environment?

Greetings!
