Appreciate the actionable ideas re: config file.

As far as the broader configurability questions, it's not so much that I want options libinput doesn't have (though that's a little bit of it).

It's more that I want the default behavior to be good enough where accessing the options aren't necessary (e.g., Macbook). In the event that the default options aren't that good, I want visual settings to tune the experience. Gnome 3 with libinput currently provides two options. Neither is pointer acceleration.

Since much of what I hope to improve the "feel" of default behavior, I don't think this could be as straightforward as "submit a PR to libinput." I think it could end up being a lot of work to get the default experience feeling great. The number of folks with interest in this esoteric subject seems to me like evidence of that.



Why not just create a gnome-widget that does libinput configuration under the hood?

The purpose of the fork cannot be just to provide sane defaults.

Pretty sure that's what the libinput developers want, too.


Is there a way to follow the project? I'd be interested to help out but didn't quickly find a github link or similar.
