Hold gestures are recognized but not triggering action

[columbus-uncle]

I have used libinput-gestures with great success in the past, but the hold gestures do not seem to be working for me. Running libinput-gestures in debug and raw modes show that the hold gestures are recognized by libinput, but for some reason I can't get them to work.

All of the swipe gestures I have configured work perfectly, but as soon as I add the gesture hold on 4 xdotool key control+t command in the config file and try to libinput-gestures-setup restart, it fails to start again.

How did you install libinput-gestures? From the diagnostic output you quote above, I have no record of that version.

I installed via git as described in the readme. I just tried removing and reinstalling again and that has fixed the issue. Hold gestures work fine now. Thanks!

1. Hold gestures were only added to libinput-gestures 2 weeks ago, so the version you were running was prior to that.
2. The hash listed in your first output here does not correspond to any version ever released in git. So you must have hand modified the code that you were running.
