Overview

There are several gestures in niri.

Mouse

Interactive Resize

You can resize windows by holding Mod and the right mouse button.

Reset Window Height

^{Since: 0.1.6}

If you double-click on a top or bottom window resize edge, the window height will reset to automatic.

This works with both window-initiated resizes (when using client-side decorations), and niri-initiated Mod + right click resizes.

Toggle Full Width

^{Since: 0.1.6}

If you double-click on a left or right window resize edge, the column will expand to the full workspace width.

This works with both window-initiated resizes (when using client-side decorations), and niri-initiated Mod + right click resizes.

Touchpad

Switch workspaces with three-finger vertical swipes.

Horizontal View Movement

Move the view horizontally with three-finger horizontal swipes.
