--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-feedbacksdevice
Display the feedbacks of device.
set-pointerdevice
Switch device in core pointer. This option does nothing on X servers 1.5 and later.
set-modedeviceABSOLUTE|RELATIVE
Change the mode of device.
set-ptr-feedbackdevicethresholdnumdenom
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-feedbackdeviceindexvalue
Change the value of an integer feedback of device.
set-button-mapdevicemap_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-statedevice
Query the device state.
list-propsdevice[device[...]]
Lists properties that can be set for the given device(s).
set-int-propdevicepropertyformatvalue
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-propdevicepropertyvalue
Sets a float property for the device. Deprecated, use set-prop instead.
set-prop[--type=atom|float|int][--format=8|16|32]devicepropertyvalue[...]
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
CHANGINGPROPERTIES.
watch-propsdevice
Prints to standard out when property changes occur.
delete-propdeviceproperty
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-masterprefix[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-mastermaster[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.
reattachslavemaster
Reattach slave to master.
floatslave
Remove slave from its current master device.
set-cpwindowmaster
Set the ClientPointer for the client owning window to master. master must specify a master
pointer.
map-to-outputdevicecrtc
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. If crtc is set to "all",
the default behavior is applied.
enabledevice
Enable the device. This call is equivalent to xinput--set-propdevice"DeviceEnabled"1disabledevice
Disable the device. This call is equivalent to xinput--set-propdevice"DeviceEnabled"0device 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.
