gnoblin.configure.input.mouse

Set only the mouse options you want to change. Gnoblin leaves omitted options at their current GNOME/Mutter values, so a small override keeps the rest of your pointer preferences intact.

For example, this sets a left-handed button layout and a slightly slower, adaptive pointer:

gnoblin.configure {
    input = {
        mouse = {
            speed = -0.2,
            left_handed = true,
            accel_profile = "adaptive",
        },
    },
}

Field	Accepted values	Default when omitted	What it changes
speed	Number from -1 to 1	Current device preference	-1 is unaccelerated, 1 is fast, and 0 asks the system for its default speed.
left_handed	Boolean	Current device preference	Swaps the primary mouse buttons.
natural_scroll	Boolean	Current device preference	Reverses the scroll direction.
accel_profile	"default", "flat", or "adaptive"	Current device profile	Uses the device default, a constant pointer speed, or acceleration based on movement speed.

If a device does not support the selected acceleration profile, it uses its default profile.

Omitted values keep the current GNOME/Mutter preference for that device. GNOME's pointer-speed guide explains the user-facing speed setting. The libinput guide describes how adaptive and flat profiles affect pointer motion.

Type definition

This is schema pseudocode in Lua table form. ? marks an optional field; | separates accepted alternatives.

gnoblin.configure {
    input = {
        mouse = {
            speed = number?, -- -1 to 1
            left_handed = boolean?,
            natural_scroll = boolean?,
            accel_profile = "default" | "flat" | "adaptive"?,
        },
    },
}
