I have done every step in order. But I do not know how to make it active backarond. It is very different from win.

image the command window is up. Maybe it is ok. But long pressing spacekey is still space function~

Make sure you have edited the config file appropriately.

so how to open the file of " Modify the config file (~/.config/touchcursor/touchcursor.conf) to your liking"

donniebreve commented 3 months ago

Open that file with the editor of your choice.

I found nothing need to modify. After Step5 key with Space is still no effect. image image

  1. You did not edit the file I referenced. You are editing the file in the repo you downloaded not the one in your home directory (~).
  2. You've somehow deleted the top part of the config file that configures your keyboard name, which is seemingly the part you are missing to make this work.

I have copied the config file contexts to the file vim ~/.config/~ as step4. But when I saved the file . It came with "e212 can't open file for writing"
