Class pinnacle.input.libinput.DeviceHandle

A handle to an input device.

Fields

sysname

sysname: string

The name of the device's system path.

Functions

method capabilities

function pinnacle.input.libinput.DeviceHandle:capabilities()
    -> pinnacle.input.libinput.Capabilities

Gets this device's libinput capabilities.

Returns

1. pinnacle.input.libinput.Capabilities

method name

function pinnacle.input.libinput.DeviceHandle:name()
    -> string

Gets the name of this device.

Returns

1. string

method product_id

function pinnacle.input.libinput.DeviceHandle:product_id()
    -> integer

Gets this device's product id.

Returns

1. integer

method vendor_id

function pinnacle.input.libinput.DeviceHandle:vendor_id()
    -> integer

Gets this device's vendor id.

Returns

1. integer

method device_type

function pinnacle.input.libinput.DeviceHandle:device_type()
    -> pinnacle.input.libinput.DeviceType

Gets the type of this device.

Note: This uses heuristics to determine the type and may not be correct. For example a device with both pointer and keyboard capabilities will be a "mouse" when it may actually be a keyboard.

Returns

1. pinnacle.input.libinput.DeviceType

method map_to_output

function pinnacle.input.libinput.DeviceHandle:map_to_output(output: pinnacle.output.OutputHandle)

Maps the absolute input from this device to the corresponding output.

This will cause touch input from this device to map proportionally to the area of an output. For example, tapping in the middle of the device will generate a tap event at the middle of the output.

This only affects devices with touch capability.

Parameters

output: pinnacle.output.OutputHandle - The output to map the device's input to

method map_to_region

function pinnacle.input.libinput.DeviceHandle:map_to_region(region: { x: integer, y: integer, width: integer, height: integer })

Maps the absolute input from this device to the corresponding region in the global space.

This will cause touch input from this device to map proportionally to the given region within the global space. For example, tapping in the middle of the device will generate a tap event at the middle of the region. This can be used to map a touch device to more than one output, for example.

This only affects devices with touch capability.

Parameters

region: { x: integer, y: integer, width: integer, height: integer } - The region in the global space to map input to
