Configuration: Gestures

Overview

^{Since: 25.02}

The gestures config section contains gesture settings. For an overview of all niri gestures, see the Gestures wiki page.

Here's a quick glance at the available settings along with their default values.

gestures {
    dnd-edge-view-scroll {
        trigger-width 30
        delay-ms 100
        max-speed 1500
    }
}

dnd-edge-view-scroll

Scroll the tiling view when moving the mouse cursor against a monitor edge during drag-and-drop (DnD). Also works on a touchscreen.

This will work for regular drag-and-drop (e.g. dragging a file from a file manager), and for window interactive move when targeting the tiling layout.

The options are:

• trigger-width: size of the area near the monitor edge that will trigger the scrolling, in logical pixels.
• delay-ms: delay in milliseconds before the scrolling starts. Avoids unwanted scrolling when dragging things across monitors.
• max-speed: maximum scrolling speed in logical pixels per second. The scrolling speed increases linearly as you move your mouse cursor from trigger-width to the very edge of the monitor.

gestures {
    // Increase the trigger area and maximum speed.
    dnd-edge-view-scroll {
        trigger-width 100
        max-speed 3000
    }
}
