Middle button interaction is most commonly to paste and it is a single-event interaction (button press). We provided middle button in software button mode by emulating it with a two-finger press with L+R down at the same time. This is also what many touchpads are spectacularly bad at, it is very common to detect the physical button down event before the second finger registers, resulting in left or right clicks where a middle button should be triggered. Unless the fingers are resting on the touchpad for at least one scanout, the success rate for middle button emulation is only at 70% or so. This patch adds a 25%-width middle button area between the left and the right software button, everything else stays the same. To avoid immediate breakage, the middle button emulation remains but may be removed in the future. The doc is updated to only refer to the middle button area now. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94755 Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> |

/*!@mainpage libinput ======== libinput is a library that handles input devices for display servers and other applications that need to directly deal with input devices. It provides device detection, device handling, input device event processing and abstraction so minimize the amount of custom input code the user of libinput need to provide the common set of functionality that users expect. Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc. libinput originates from [weston](http://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/), the Wayland reference compositor. Architecture ------------ libinput is not used directly by applications, rather it is used by the xf86-input-libinput X.Org driver or wayland compositors. The typical software stack for a system running Wayland is: @dotfile libinput-stack-wayland.gv Where the Wayland compositor may be Weston, mutter, KWin, etc. Note that Wayland encourages the use of toolkits, so the Wayland client (your application) does not usually talk directly to the compositor but rather employs a toolkit (e.g. GTK) to do so. The simplified software stack for a system running X.Org is: @dotfile libinput-stack-xorg.gv Again, on a modern system the application does not usually talk directly to the X server using Xlib but rather employs a toolkit to do so. Source code ----------- The source code of libinput can be found at: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/libinput For a list of current and past releases visit: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libinput/ Reporting Bugs -------------- Bugs can be filed in the libinput component of Wayland: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wayland&component=libinput Where possible, please provide an [evemu](http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Evemu/) recording of the input device and/or the event sequence in question. See @ref reporting_bugs for more info.
