# NAME
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
sway-input - input configuration file and commands
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Sway allows for configuration of devices within the sway configuration file.
 | 
						|
sway-input commands must be used inside an _input { }_ block in the config.
 | 
						|
To obtain a list of available device identifiers, run *swaymsg -t get\_inputs*.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# INPUT COMMANDS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For more information on these xkb configuration options, see

						|
*xkeyboard-config*(7).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> xkb\_layout <layout\_name>
 | 
						|
	Sets the layout of the keyboard like _us_ or _de_.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> xkb\_model <model\_name>
 | 
						|
	Sets the model of the keyboard. This has an influence for some extra keys
 | 
						|
	your keyboard might have.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> xkb\_options <options>
 | 
						|
	Sets extra xkb configuration options for the keyboard.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> xkb\_rules <rules>
 | 
						|
	Sets files of rules to be used for keyboard mapping composition.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> xkb\_variant <variant>
 | 
						|
	Sets the variant of the keyboard like _dvorak_ or _colemak_.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The following commands may only be used in the configuration file.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> xkb\_capslock enabled|disabled
 | 
						|
	Initially enables or disables CapsLock, the default is disabled.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> xkb\_numlock enabled|disabled
 | 
						|
	Initially enables or disables NumLock, the default is disabled.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## MAPPING CONFIGURATION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> map\_to\_output <identifier>
 | 
						|
	Maps inputs from this device to the specified output. Only meaningful if the
 | 
						|
	device is a pointer, touch, or drawing tablet device.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> map\_to\_region <WxH@X,Y>
 | 
						|
	Maps inputs from this device to the specified region of the global output
 | 
						|
	layout. Only meaningful if the device is a pointer, touch, or drawing tablet
 | 
						|
	device.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> map\_from\_region <X1xY1> <X2xY2>
 | 
						|
	Ignores inputs from this device that do not occur within the specified
 | 
						|
	region. Can be in millimeters (e.g. 10x20mm 20x40mm) or in terms of 0..1
 | 
						|
	(e.g. 0.5x0.5 0.7x0.7). Not all devices support millimeters. Only meaningful
 | 
						|
	if the device is not a keyboard an provides events in absolute terms (such
 | 
						|
	as a drawing tablet or touch screen - most pointers provide events relative
 | 
						|
	to the previous frame).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## LIBINPUT CONFIGURATION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> accel\_profile adaptive|flat
 | 
						|
	Sets the pointer acceleration profile for the specified input device.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> click\_method none|button\_areas|clickfinger
 | 
						|
	Changes the click method for the specified device.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> drag\_lock enabled|disabled
 | 
						|
	Enables or disables drag lock for specified input device.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> dwt enabled|disabled
 | 
						|
	Enables or disables disable-while-typing for the specified input device.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> events enabled|disabled|disabled\_on\_external\_mouse
 | 
						|
	Enables or disables send\_events for specified input device. (Disabling
 | 
						|
	send\_events disables the input device)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> left\_handed enabled|disabled
 | 
						|
	Enables or disables left handed mode for specified input device.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> middle\_emulation enabled|disabled
 | 
						|
	Enables or disables middle click emulation.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> natural\_scroll enabled|disabled
 | 
						|
	Enables or disables natural (inverted) scrolling for the specified input
 | 
						|
	device.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> pointer\_accel [<-1|1>]
 | 
						|
	Changes the pointer acceleration for the specified input device.
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> scroll\_button <button\_identifier>
 | 
						|
	Sets button used for scroll\_method on\_button\_down. The button identifier
 | 
						|
	can be obtained from `libinput debug-events`.
 | 
						|
	If set to 0, it disables the scroll\_button on\_button\_down.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> tap enabled|disabled
 | 
						|
	Enables or disables tap for specified input device.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*input* <identifier> tap\_button\_map lrm|lmr
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
	right click.

						|
## SEAT CONFIGURATION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Configure options for multiseat mode. sway-seat commands must be used inside a
 | 
						|
_seat { }_ block in the config.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A *seat* is a collection of input devices that act independently of each other.
 | 
						|
Seats are identified by name and the default seat is _seat0_ if no seats are
 | 
						|
configured. Each seat has an independent keyboard focus and a separate cursor that
 | 
						|
is controlled by the pointer devices of the seat. This is useful for multiple
 | 
						|
people using the desktop at the same time with their own devices (each sitting
 | 
						|
in their own "seat").
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*seat* <name> attach <input\_identifier>
 | 
						|
	Attach an input device to this seat by its input identifier. A special
 | 
						|
	value of "\*" will attach all devices to the seat.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*seat* <name> fallback true|false
 | 
						|
	Set this seat as the fallback seat. A fallback seat will attach any device
 | 
						|
	not explicitly attached to another seat (similar to a "default" seat).
 |
