General

Hyprland supports 1:1 gestures for the trackpad for some operations. The basic syntax looks like this:

gesture = fingers, direction, action, options

Various actions may have their own options, or none. You can drop the options altogether and end on the action arg if the action takes none.

You can also restrict gestures to a modifier by adding , mod: [MODMASK] after direction, or scale the animation's speed by a float by adding scale: [SCALE].

Examples:

gesture = 3, down, mod: ALT, close
gesture = 3, up, mod: SUPER, scale: 1.5, fullscreen
gesture = 3, left, scale: 1.5, float

Directions

The following directions are supported:

• swipe -> any swipe
• horizontal -> horizontal swipe
• vertical -> vertical swipe
• left, right, up, down -> swipe directions
• pinch -> any pinch
• pinchin, pinchout -> directional pinch
