Detailed Description
Enable, disable, change and/or check for device-specific features.
For all features, libinput assigns a default based on the hardware configuration. This default can be obtained with the respective get_default call.
Configuration options are device dependent and not all options are supported on all devices. For all configuration options, libinput provides a call to check if a configuration option is available on a device (e.g. libinput_device_config_calibration_has_matrix())
Some configuration option may be dependent on or mutually exclusive with with other options. The behavior in those cases is implementation-dependent, the caller must ensure that the options are set in the right order.
Below is a general grouping of configuration options according to device type. Note that this is a guide only and not indicative of any specific device.
- Touchpad:
- Touchscreens:
- Pointer devices (mice, trackballs, touchpads):
- All devices:
Enumeration Type Documentation
◆ libinput_config_accel_profile
- Since
- 1.1
◆ libinput_config_accel_type
Acceleration types are categories of movement by a device that may have specific acceleration functions applied.
A device always supports the LIBINPUT_ACCEL_TYPE_MOTION type (for regular pointer motion). Other types (e.g. scrolling) may be added in the future.
The special type LIBINPUT_ACCEL_TYPE_FALLBACK specifies the acceleration function to be moved for any movement produced by the device that does not have a specific acceleration type defined.
Use to specify the acceleration function type in libinput_config_accel_set_points
Each device implements a subset of those types, see a list of supported devices for each movement type definition.
- See also
- LIBINPUT_ACCEL_ARG_TYPE
- Since
- 1.23
◆ libinput_config_click_method
The click method defines when to generate software-emulated buttons, usually on a device that does not have a specific physical button available.
◆ libinput_config_drag_lock_state
◆ libinput_config_drag_state
A config status to distinguish or set dragging on a device.
Currently implemented for tap-and-drag only, see libinput_device_config_tap_set_drag_enabled()
- Since
- 1.2
| Enumerator | |
|---|---|
| LIBINPUT_CONFIG_DRAG_DISABLED | Drag is to be disabled, or is currently disabled. |
| LIBINPUT_CONFIG_DRAG_ENABLED | Drag is to be enabled, or is currently enabled. |
◆ libinput_config_dwt_state
◆ libinput_config_dwtp_state
◆ libinput_config_middle_emulation_state
◆ libinput_config_scroll_method
The scroll method of a device selects when to generate scroll axis events instead of pointer motion events.
◆ libinput_config_send_events_mode
The send-event mode of a device defines when a device may generate events and pass those events to the caller.
| Enumerator | |
|---|---|
| LIBINPUT_CONFIG_SEND_EVENTS_ENABLED | Send events from this device normally. This is a placeholder mode only, any device detected by libinput can be enabled. Do not test for this value as bitmask. |
| LIBINPUT_CONFIG_SEND_EVENTS_DISABLED | Do not send events through this device. Depending on the device, this may close all file descriptors on the device or it may leave the file descriptors open and route events through a different device. If this bit field is set, other disable modes may be ignored. For example, if both LIBINPUT_CONFIG_SEND_EVENTS_DISABLED and LIBINPUT_CONFIG_SEND_EVENTS_DISABLED_ON_EXTERNAL_MOUSE are set, the device remains disabled when all external pointer devices are unplugged. |
| LIBINPUT_CONFIG_SEND_EVENTS_DISABLED_ON_EXTERNAL_MOUSE | If an external pointer device is plugged in, do not send events from this device. This option may be available on built-in touchpads. |

| int libinput_device_config_scroll_has_natural_scroll | ( | struct libinput_device * | device | ) |
Return non-zero if the device supports "natural scrolling".
In traditional scroll mode, the movement of fingers on a touchpad when scrolling matches the movement of the scroll bars. When the fingers move down, the scroll bar moves down, a line of text on the screen moves towards the upper end of the screen. This also matches scroll wheels on mice (wheel down, content moves up).
Natural scrolling is the term coined by Apple for inverted scrolling. In this mode, the effect of scrolling movement of fingers on a touchpad resemble physical manipulation of paper. When the fingers move down, a line of text on the screen moves down (scrollbars move up). This is the opposite of scroll wheels on mice.
A device supporting natural scrolling can be switched between traditional scroll mode and natural scroll mode.
- Parameters
-
device The device to configure
- Returns
- Zero if natural scrolling is not supported, non-zero if natural scrolling is supported by this device
◆ libinput_device_config_scroll_set_button()

Set the button for the LIBINPUT_CONFIG_SCROLL_ON_BUTTON_DOWN method for this device.
When the current scroll method is set to LIBINPUT_CONFIG_SCROLL_ON_BUTTON_DOWN, no button press/release events will be send for the configured button.
When the configured button is pressed, any motion events along a scroll-capable axis are turned into scroll axis events.
- Note
- Setting the button does not change the scroll method. To change the scroll method call libinput_device_config_scroll_set_method().
If the button is 0, button scrolling is effectively disabled.
- Parameters
-
device The device to configure button The button which when pressed switches to sending scroll events

| enum libinput_config_drag_lock_state libinput_device_config_tap_get_drag_lock_enabled | ( | struct libinput_device * | device | ) |
Check if drag-lock during tapping is enabled on this device.
If the device does not support tapping, this function always returns LIBINPUT_CONFIG_DRAG_LOCK_DISABLED.
Drag lock may be enabled even when tapping is disabled.
- Parameters
-
device The device to configure
- Return values
-
LIBINPUT_CONFIG_DRAG_LOCK_ENABLED If drag lock is currently enabled LIBINPUT_CONFIG_DRAG_LOCK_DISABLED If drag lock is currently disabled
◆ libinput_device_config_tap_get_enabled()
| enum libinput_config_tap_state libinput_device_config_tap_get_enabled | ( | struct libinput_device * | device | ) |
Check if tap-to-click is enabled on this device.
If the device does not support tapping, this function always returns LIBINPUT_CONFIG_TAP_DISABLED.
- Parameters
-
device The device to configure
- Return values
-
LIBINPUT_CONFIG_TAP_ENABLED If tapping is currently enabled LIBINPUT_CONFIG_TAP_DISABLED If tapping is currently disabled
◆ libinput_device_config_tap_get_finger_count()
| int libinput_device_config_tap_get_finger_count | ( | struct libinput_device * | device | ) |
Check if the device supports tap-to-click and how many fingers can be used for tapping.
See libinput_device_config_tap_set_enabled() for more information.
- Parameters
-
device The device to configure
- Returns
- The number of fingers that can generate a tap event, or 0 if the device does not support tapping.
◆ libinput_device_config_tap_set_button_map()
| enum libinput_config_status libinput_device_config_tap_set_button_map | ( | struct libinput_device * | device, |
| enum libinput_config_tap_button_map | map | ||
| ) |
Set the finger number to button number mapping for tap-to-click.
The default mapping on most devices is to have a 1, 2 and 3 finger tap to map to the left, right and middle button, respectively. A device may permit changing the button mapping but disallow specific maps. In this case LIBINPUT_CONFIG_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED is returned, the caller is expected to handle this case correctly.
Changing the button mapping may not take effect immediately, the device may wait until it is in a neutral state before applying any changes.
The mapping may be changed when tap-to-click is disabled. The new mapping takes effect when tap-to-click is enabled in the future.
- Note
- It is an application bug to call this function for devices where libinput_device_config_tap_get_finger_count() returns 0.
- Parameters
-
device The device to configure map The new finger-to-button number mapping
- Returns
- A config status code. Changing the order on a device that does not support tapping always fails with LIBINPUT_CONFIG_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED.

◆ libinput_device_config_tap_set_drag_enabled()
| enum libinput_config_status libinput_device_config_tap_set_drag_enabled | ( | struct libinput_device * | device, |
| enum libinput_config_drag_state | enable | ||
| ) |
Enable or disable tap-and-drag on this device.
When enabled, a tap immediately followed by a finger down results in a button down event, subsequent finger motion thus triggers a drag. The button is released on finger up. See the libinput documentation for more details.
- Parameters
-
device The device to configure enable LIBINPUT_CONFIG_DRAG_ENABLED to enable, LIBINPUT_CONFIG_DRAG_DISABLED to disable tap-and-drag
- See also
- libinput_device_config_tap_drag_get_enabled
- libinput_device_config_tap_drag_get_default_enabled

◆ libinput_device_config_tap_set_drag_lock_enabled()
| enum libinput_config_status libinput_device_config_tap_set_drag_lock_enabled | ( | struct libinput_device * | device, |
| enum libinput_config_drag_lock_state | enable | ||
| ) |
Enable or disable drag-lock during tapping on this device.
When enabled, a finger may be lifted and put back on the touchpad within a timeout and the drag process continues. When disabled, lifting the finger during a tap-and-drag will immediately stop the drag. See the libinput documentation for more details.
Enabling drag lock on a device that has tapping disabled is permitted, but has no effect until tapping is enabled.
- Parameters
-
device The device to configure enable LIBINPUT_CONFIG_DRAG_LOCK_ENABLED to enable drag lock or LIBINPUT_CONFIG_DRAG_LOCK_DISABLED to disable drag lock
- Returns
- A config status code. Disabling drag lock on a device that does not support tapping always succeeds.
◆ libinput_device_config_tap_set_enabled()
| enum libinput_config_status libinput_device_config_tap_set_enabled | ( | struct libinput_device * | device, |
| enum libinput_config_tap_state | enable | ||
| ) |
Enable or disable tap-to-click on this device, with a default mapping of 1, 2, 3 finger tap mapping to left, right, middle click, respectively.
Tapping is limited by the number of simultaneous touches supported by the device, see libinput_device_config_tap_get_finger_count().
- Parameters
-
device The device to configure enable LIBINPUT_CONFIG_TAP_ENABLED to enable tapping or LIBINPUT_CONFIG_TAP_DISABLED to disable tapping
- Returns
- A config status code. Disabling tapping on a device that does not support tapping always succeeds.
