Describe the issue

it may seem weird, BUT here's my situation. I use a laptop (which comes with its own trackpad, managed by libinput /dev/input/event10). I also have a bluetooth "apple magic trackpad", which works better for me (fighting with hand and wrist pain).

But sometimes, batteries will fail, or I'll be on the move without the magic trackpad, so I have to rely on the native laptop one

It would be really nice to be able to use gestures on both trackpads at the same time.

There is a comment in the libinput-gestures.conf about how to do this. Try it and let me know here how you go.

device all works just fine, thank you !

My bad : I did also install "gestures" minimal GUI, which at first run completely wipes comments in configuration file. I didn't think about checking the original file.
