twogfing

twofing is a daemon which runs in the background and recognizes two-finger gestures performed on a touchscreen and converts them into mouse and keyboard events. This way, such gestures can be used in almost all existing applications (even ones where you wouldn’t expect it, like Wine applications) without having to modify them.

Installation

Install from GitHub APT repository (Debian Trixie)

For tagged releases (v*), CI publishes:

• architecture-specific .deb packages
• a flat APT repository (Packages, Packages.gz, Release)

You can consume the stable flat repository from the apt release tag:

echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://github.com/twofing/twofing/releases/download/apt ./" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/twofing-github.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install twofing

Note: the published repository is currently unsigned, so trusted=yes is required.
