Hold gestures are recognized but not triggering action
columbus-uncle opened this issue · comments
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.

Gesture "hold" is not supported.
Must be "swipe" or "pinch".
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!

- Hold gestures were only added to libinput-gestures 2 weeks ago, so the version you were running was prior to that.
- 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.
