okay so this is the General Commands Manual page for xsetpointer(1) and I'm obsessed π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
xsetpointer - set an X Input device as the main pointer π±οΈ
π SYNOPSIS π
xsetpointer -l | device-name
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so xsetpointer is the girl who makes an XInput device the main pointer π bestie, that's literally it. π
if you call it with the -l flag, it lists all the devices you can pick from. no cap, super handy π
then there's the -c/+c flag, which toggles whether core input events get sent. this is for servers that have a virtual core pointer π§. -c turns core events off, and +c turns them back on β¨ it's giving switch-hitter energy.
