xinput - utility to configure and test X input devices
xinput [OPTIONS] [DEVICE]
xinput is a utility to list available input devices, query information about a
  device and change input device settings.
  - --version
- Test if the X Input extension is available and return the version number
      of the program and the version supported by the server. This option does
      not require a device name.
- --list [--short || --long || --name-only || --id-only]
    [device]
- If no argument is given list all the input devices. If an argument is
      given, show all the features of device. If --long is provided, the
      output includes detailed information about the capabilities of each
      devices. Otherwise, or if --short is provided, only the device names and
      some minimal information is listed. If --name-only is provided, the output
      is limited to the device names. One device name is listed per line. Note
      that the order the devices are listed is undefined. If --id-only is
      provided, the output is limited to the device IDs. One device ID is listed
      per line. Note that the order the devices are listed is undefined.
- --get-feedbacks device
- Display the feedbacks of device.
- --set-pointer device
- Switch device in core pointer. This option does nothing on X
      servers 1.5 and later.
- --set-mode device ABSOLUTE|RELATIVE
- Change the mode of device.
- --set-ptr-feedback device threshold num
    denom
- Change the pointer acceleration (or feedback) parameters of device.
      The xset(1) man page has more details. For X.Org Server 1.7 and above,
      there are additional device properties pertaining to pointer acceleration.
      These do not replace, but complement the pointer feedback setting.
- --set-integer-feedback device index value
- Change the value of an integer feedback of device.
- --set-button-map device map_button_1 [map_button_2
    [...]]
- Change the button mapping of device. The buttons are specified in
      physical order (starting with button 1) and are mapped to the logical
      button provided. 0 disables a button. The default button mapping for a
      device is 1 2 3 4 5 6 etc.
- --query-state device
- Query the device state.
- --list-props device [device [...]]
- Lists properties that can be set for the given device(s).
- --set-int-prop device property format
    value
- Sets an integer property for the device. Appropriate values for
      format are 8, 16, or 32, depending on the property. Deprecated, use
      --set-prop instead.
- --set-float-prop device property value
- Sets a float property for the device. Deprecated, use --set-prop
      instead.
- --set-prop [--type=atom|float|int] [--format=8|16|32]
    device property value [...]
- Set the property to the given value(s). If not specified, the format and
      type of the property are left as-is. The arguments are interpreted
      according to the property type. See Section CHANGING
    PROPERTIES.
- --watch-props device
- Prints to standard out when property changes occur.
- --delete-prop device property
- Delete the property from the device.
- --test [-proximity] device
- Register all extended events from device and enter an endless loop
      displaying events received. If the -proximity is given, ProximityIn and
      ProximityOut are registered.
- --test-xi2 [--root] [device]
- Register for a number of XI2 events and display them. If a device is
      given, only events on this device are displayed. If --root is given,
      events are selected on the root window only. Otherwise, a new client
      window is created (similar to xev).
- --create-master prefix [sendCore] [enable]
- Create a new pair of master devices on an XI2-enabled server with the
      given prefix. The server will create one master pointer named
      "prefix pointer" and one master keyboard named
      "prefix keyboard". If sendCore is 1, this pair of
      master devices is set to send core events (default). If enable is
      1, this master device pair will be enabled immediately (default).
- --remove-master master [Floating|AttachToMaster] [returnPointer]
    [returnKeyboard]
- Remove master and its paired master device. Attached slave devices
      are set floating if Floating is specified or the argument is
      omitted. If the second argument is AttachToMaster,
      returnPointer specifies the master pointer to attach all slave
      pointers to and returnKeyboard specifies the master keyboard to
      attach all slave keyboards to.
- --reattach slave master
- Reattach slave to master.
- --float slave
- Remove slave from its current master device.
- --set-cp window master
- Set the ClientPointer for the client owning window to
      master. master must specify a master pointer.
- --map-to-output device crtc
- Restricts the movements of the absolute device to the RandR
      crtc. The output name must match a currently connected output (see
      xrandr(1)). If the NVIDIA binary driver is detected or RandR 1.2 or
      later is not available, a Xinerama output may be specified as
      "HEAD-N", with N being the Xinerama screen number. This option
      has no effect on relative devices.
- --enable device
- Enable the device. This call is equivalent to xinput --set-prop
      device "Device Enabled" 1
- --disable device
- Disable the device. This call is equivalent to xinput --set-prop
      device "Device Enabled" 0
device can be the device name as a string or the XID of the
    device.
slave can be the device name as a string or the XID of a
    slave device.
master can be the device name as a string or the XID of a
    master device.
property can be the property as a string or the Atom
  value.
When xinput should modify an existing driver property value, it is sufficient to
  provide the device name and property name as string, followed by the new
  value(s) of the property. For example:
  
  - xinput set-prop "my device" "my prop" 1 2
      3
    
  
Xwayland is an X server that uses a Wayland Compositor as backend. Xwayland acts
  as translation layer between the X protocol and the Wayland protocol but does
  not have direct access to the hardware. The X Input Extension devices created
  by Xwayland ("xwayland-pointer", "xwayland-keyboard",
  etc.) map to the Wayland protocol devices, not to physical devices.These X Input Extension devices are only visible to other X
    clients connected to the same Xwayland process. Changing properties on
    Xwayland devices only affects the behavior of those clients. For example,
    disabling an Xwayland device with xinput does not disable the device in
    Wayland-native applications. Other changes may not have any effect at
  all.
In most instances, using xinput with an Xwayland device is
    indicative of a bug in a shell script and xinput will print a warning. Use
    the Wayland Compositor's native device configuration methods instead.
