Fusuma
Fusuma is a gesture recognition daemon and multitouch input mapper for Linux systems. It operates as a background service that monitors raw input devices and translates trackpad swipes, pinches, and rotations into user-defined shell commands and keyboard shortcuts.
The system utilizes a modular input framework that allows for device-specific filtering to ensure gestures are only processed from designated touchpads. It features a plugin architecture that enables the integration of external modules for custom gesture configurations and keyboard event emulation.
The software covers input automation by mapping finger patterns to system actions, including the use of modifier key logic to alter gesture outcomes. These capabilities extend to window manager navigation, allowing for the control of virtual workspaces and window states through multitouch input.
Features
- Trackpad Gesture Configurations - Translates multitouch trackpad swipes and pinches into custom shell commands and keyboard shortcuts on Linux.
- Shell Command Execution - Triggers and controls operating system shell commands when specific swipe, pinch, or rotate gestures are detected.
- Input Gesture Daemons - Provides a background daemon that translates raw multitouch hardware events into system-wide commands and actions.
- Input Device Gesture Mappers - Translates raw multitouch input patterns into simulated keyboard, mouse, or system commands.
- Linux - Utilizes Linux kernel interfaces like evdev and uinput to intercept and redirect multitouch trackpad hardware events.
- Gesture-to-Command Mappings - Maps recognized touchpad gestures to specific shell commands or keyboard shortcuts for system control.
- Modular Plugin Architectures - Implements a modular architectural framework for processing touch events through a plugin system and device filtering.
- Gesture Recognition Engines - Uses a processing engine to translate raw touch coordinates into swipes or pinches via mathematical thresholds.
- Multitouch Gesture Processing - Processes simultaneous multiple-finger inputs to translate complex touch patterns into system actions.
- Input-to-Action Mappings - Translates multitouch trackpad gestures into system-level actions and shell commands.
- Input Device Filtering - Restricts gesture recognition to specific touchpads by filtering kernel events based on unique device identifiers.
- Keyboard Shortcut Simulations - Simulates the programmatic pressing of keyboard shortcuts in response to detected trackpad gestures.
- Gesture-Based Navigation - Provides gesture-driven control for switching between virtual workspaces and managing window states.
- Input Automation - Executes automated scripts and system actions based on specific finger patterns and hardware input thresholds.
- Gesture-Based Input Workflows - Defines complex interaction workflows combining multitouch gestures with modifier keys for high-level automation.
- Window State Management - Enables the control of window states such as maximizing and minimizing through multitouch input signals.
- Plugin-Based Extensibility - Features a modular architecture allowing external plugins to add new gesture capabilities and system behaviors.
- Plugin-Based Architectures - Employs a plugin-based architecture to extend core functionality with keyboard event emulation and custom gestures.
- Device-Specific Event Filtering - Implements a filtering layer that restricts event processing to specific hardware devices based on their system names.
- Modifier-Key Contexts - Adjusts the outcome of trackpad gestures based on the current state of keyboard modifier keys.
- Window Manager Integrations - Provides gesture-driven controls for managing virtual workspace transitions and window states via window manager integrations.
