libinput-gestures on wayland: can't get 'super' key


libinput-gestures on wayland: can't get 'super' key



I'm trying to configure libinput-gestures by editing /etc/libinput-gestures.conf.


/etc/libinput-gestures.conf



I'm using gnome 3.28.1 on Linux Mint 19 and I want to trigger 'activities overview' with a given multi-touch trackpad gesture.



Libinput-gestures is working for switching desktops using



_internal ws_up &


_internal ws_up



_internal ws_down in the config file.


_internal ws_down



The way I got into overview in Linux Mint 18.03 is by sending a key via



xdotool key super for 'activities overview' &


xdotool key super



xdotool key super+a for 'show applications'.


xdotool key super+a



From my research I have found that the version of gnome I had in mint 18 used x11 as it's display manager and the version of gnome in mint 19 uses wayland. Wayland has I believe deprecated the ability to 'send keys' for security reasons.



Solutions to this problem might be:



All insights are appreciated.
Thanks :)

PHP contact form sending but not receiving emails

PHP contact form sending but not receiving emails I have created a contact form using PHP to send the data. The form seems to send fine as there are no errors and success message appears, however I am not receving the emails into the designated inbox. I am using PHPMailer as I originally tried just using the php 'mail' command which I now understand is a bit hit and miss. I cannot see why I would not be receving the emails so I would be very grateful for any help that could be given. I'm quite new to PHP so please be patient with me :) <?php use PHPMailerPHPMailerPHPMailer; use PHPMailerPHPMailerException; $msg = ""; if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { require 'phpmailer/src/Exception.php'; require 'phpmailer/src/PHPMailer.php'; require 'phpmailer/src/SMTP.php'; function sendemail ($to, $from, $body) { $mail = new PHPMailer(true); $mail->setFrom($from); $mail->addAddress($to); $ma...

Do graphics cards have individual ID by which single devices can be distinguished?

Do graphics cards have individual ID by which single devices can be distinguished? I have several graphics cards of the same manufacturer and same model and I want to distinguish them not only by the pcie socket they reside in but by some individual value I can read from the hardware. Is there such value and if so what would it be called and how could I access it? Right now I'm using modern nvidia cards (10xx series) and nvidia inspector.but I'd prefer if there was any value that was also applicable to amd. I have programming and scripting knowledge. I am running Windows 10 1 Answer 1 This is a powershell example to pull information from video cards. The DeviceID is supposed to be unique but only if the manufacturer supports Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). (I copied this directly from docs.microsoft.com) $strComputer = "." $colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_VideoC...

iOS Top Alignment constraint based on screen (superview) height Let's say for example i want my view's top margin be 30 px for iPhone 6s and for the other screen i want to change this constants from 30 to X where X is proportional to total height of screen i.e. 36.5 for iPhone X, 33 for iPhone 6s plus, 25 for iPhone SE And so on .... I know i can take @IBOutlet of NSLayoutConstraint and change it programmatically but what i want is i want to set it like aspect ratio that we have for height width like subview's heigh width is proportional it's superview it changes with super view's height and width @IBOutlet NSLayoutConstraint 2 Answers 2 The constraint you need here is the superView's centerY set multiplier to 0.5 if you want the top anchor's constant to be 0.25 of screen height from the top , so adjust the multiplier according to this logic which is height_of_scre...
