Describing the issue

I was using it normally and able to edit config file in /.config and then restart the service what was working. But recently changed my browser gestures on libinput-gestures via config and it still uses old edition of config file.

Why this causes no any idead, several times stopped service, restarted, rebooted even reinstalled but nothing helped.

Hope you handle and help me on this great editable tool. Thanks.

In your above description you say "edit config file in /.config". Is that a typo? You should be editing the file which is shown above in the output, i.e. ~/.config/libinput-gestures.conf, i.e. $HOME/.config/libinput-gestures.conf. Are the gestures listed above the ones you are expecting?

[linuxtopia]

no not typo I just wanted to write it briefly. i meant what was under ~/.config.

~/.config/libinput-gestures.conf is the path to the config file.

[bulletmark]

"No not a typo"? Please note that /.config and ~/.config are completely different directories. If you are editing any file at /.config then that is the wrong directory.

The above output of your libinput-gestures -l shows that libinput-gestures is using your custom file in ~/.config/libinput-gestures.conf and the gestures you have configured there are printed out also. Is that the file you are editing? Are you saying that file is not being used? Are the gestures list above the ones you have configured/changed? What exactly is the issue you are reporting?

[linuxtopia]

I have changed libinput-gestures browser gestures but they had worked previous vise versa setting.

Refresh browser tab

gesture swipe right_down xdotool key control+R

Close current browser tab

gesture swipe left_down xdotool key control+w

After reboot systemctl stop/disable/enable/restart looking solved the issue. we may close this :)

*btw, hold 3 finger works with libinput-gestures?

[bulletmark]

Your output says you are running libinput-gestures as a desktop app so any systemctl is irrelevant. In fact you should get an error if you try to run systemctl on anything to do with libinput-gestures so that can't have solved anything. If you read the instructions in the README you will see that you restart this utility (to pick up config changes etc) by typing the command:

libinput-gestures-setup restart

And can you please clarify what you are asking in that final sentence? Of course the software works but please try the hold on command and see if it is what you are wanting.
