### Overview
<sup>Since: 25.02</sup>
The `gestures` config section contains gesture settings.
For an overview of all niri gestures, see the [Gestures](./Gestures.md) wiki page.
Here's a quick glance at the available settings along with their default values.
```kdl
gestures {
dnd-edge-view-scroll {
trigger-width 30
delay-ms 100
max-speed 1500
}
dnd-edge-workspace-switch {
trigger-height 50
delay-ms 100
max-speed 1500
}
hot-corners {
// off
top-left
// top-right
// bottom-left
// bottom-right
}
}
```
### `dnd-edge-view-scroll`
Scroll the tiling view when moving the mouse cursor against a monitor edge during drag-and-drop (DnD).
Also works on a touchscreen.
This will work for regular drag-and-drop (e.g. dragging a file from a file manager), and for window interactive move when targeting the tiling layout.
The options are:
- `trigger-width`: size of the area near the monitor edge that will trigger the scrolling, in logical pixels.
- `delay-ms`: delay in milliseconds before the scrolling starts.
Avoids unwanted scrolling when dragging things across monitors.
- `max-speed`: maximum scrolling speed in logical pixels per second.
The scrolling speed increases linearly as you move your mouse cursor from `trigger-width` to the very edge of the monitor.
```kdl
gestures {
// Increase the trigger area and maximum speed.
dnd-edge-view-scroll {
trigger-width 100
max-speed 3000
}
}
```
### `dnd-edge-workspace-switch`
<sup>Since: 25.05</sup>
Scroll the workspaces up/down when moving the mouse cursor against a monitor edge during drag-and-drop (DnD) while in the overview.
Also works on a touchscreen.
The options are:
- `trigger-height`: size of the area near the monitor edge that will trigger the scrolling, in logical pixels.
- `delay-ms`: delay in milliseconds before the scrolling starts.
Avoids unwanted scrolling when dragging things across monitors.
- `max-speed`: maximum scrolling speed; 1500 corresponds to one screen height per second.
The scrolling speed increases linearly as you move your mouse cursor from `trigger-width` to the very edge of the monitor.
```kdl
gestures {
// Increase the trigger area and maximum speed.
dnd-edge-workspace-switch {
trigger-height 100
max-speed 3000
}
}
```
### `hot-corners`
<sup>Since: 25.05</sup>
Put your mouse at the very top-left corner of a monitor to toggle the overview.
Also works during drag-and-dropping something.
`off` disables the hot corners.
```kdl
// Disable the hot corners.
gestures {
hot-corners {
off
}
}
```
<sup>Since: next release</sup> You can choose specific hot corners by name: `top-left`, `top-right`, `bottom-left`, `bottom-right`.
If no corners are explicitly set, the top-left corner will be active by default.
```kdl
// Enable the top-right and bottom-right hot corners.
gestures {
hot-corners {
top-right
bottom-right
}
}
```
You can also customize hot corners per-output [in the output config](./Configuration:-Outputs.md#hot-corners).
