Would be nice to make a simple Homepage at github. Also please add wiki to github to port easystroke wiki over and grant rights for editing.

@chent7 you mean this fork repo of @bjbr-dev is abandoned?

revast commented 1 year ago

I hope not.... nevertheless, as time moves on, something as replacement would be nice... (e.g. wayland support..) what I have found so far:

there is mouse gestures built into KDE, which also work on XFCE (tried it), but until now, the strokes do not draw a line...
there is one port to wayland, as plugin of wayfire
there is mouse-actions, which is made from scratch (runs X11, wayland, mac) by an easystroke user. Written in Rust, no configuation GUI for now; he states it's in alpha state, but seems already usable (no X11 crashes) - this seems to be the most promising. a single binary for Download and an example config file is provided.

Thanks for the links - will take a look. By just skimming it, it seems it is pretty bare-bones and lacking quite some functionality for now :cry:

Hi ! I'm the mouse-actions developer. This project has a GUI config now (since 2 weeks) :

I use it since one year without X11 crash, but the mouse-actions program crash sometime when new device is added.

I don't test it on Wayland, but it should work because mouse-actions use rdev that use evdev. evdev is upstream of Wayland, mouse-actions should work with Wayland for gestures, but not for edges events (mouse absolute position is not available on Wayland). If mouse-actions doesn't work on Wayland now, I think I can fix it quickly.

mouse-actions is fully functional for my use, but if it is used by other people, I will take some time to improve it (fix, refactor, multi-platform support, ...).

edit: if you try it, see https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions#requirement- ! in short :

sudo usermod -a -G plugdev $USER
sudo usermod -a -G input $USER
sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/80-mouse-actions.rules <<<'KERNEL=="uinput", SUBSYSTEM=="misc", TAG+="uaccess", OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput"'
# and restart the desktop session

Very nice! I am trying it now...

I'm not sure HOW to try this - but it does look nice. I use easystroke, but I'm worried about Wayland coming in.
