+# NAME
+
+sway-input - input configuration file and commands
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Sway allows for configuration of devices within the sway configuration file.
+sway-input commands must be used inside an _input { }_ block in the config.
+To obtain a list of available device identifiers, run *swaymsg -t get\_inputs*.
+
+# INPUT COMMANDS
+
+## KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION
+
+For more information on these xkb configuration options, see
+*xkeyboard-config*(7).
+
+*input* <identifier> xkb\_layout <layout\_name>
+ Sets the layout of the keyboard like _us_ or _de_.
+
+*input* <identifier> xkb\_model <model\_name>
+ Sets the model of the keyboard. This has an influence for some extra keys
+ your keyboard might have.
+
+*input* <identifier> xkb\_options <options>
+ Sets extra xkb configuration options for the keyboard.
+
+*input* <identifier> xkb\_rules <rules>
+ Sets files of rules to be used for keyboard mapping composition.
+
+*input* <identifier> xkb\_variant <variant>
+ Sets the variant of the keyboard like _dvorak_ or _colemak_.
+
+## MAPPING CONFIGURATION
+
+*input* <identifier> map\_to\_output <identifier>
+ Maps inputs from this device to the specified output. Only meaningful if the
+ device is a pointer, touch, or drawing tablet device.
+
+*input* <identifier> map\_to\_region <WxH@X,Y>
+ Maps inputs from this device to the specified region of the global output
+ layout. Only meaningful if the device is a pointer, touch, or drawing tablet
+ device.
+
+*input* <identifier> map\_from\_region <X1xY1> <X2xY2>
+ Ignores inputs from this device that do not occur within the specified
+ region. Can be in millimeters (e.g. 10x20mm 20x40mm) or in terms of 0..1
+ (e.g. 0.5x0.5 0.7x0.7). Not all devices support millimeters. Only meaningful
+ if the device is not a keyboard an provides events in absolute terms (such
+ as a drawing tablet or touch screen - most pointers provide events relative
+ to the previous frame).
+
+## LIBINPUT CONFIGURATION
+
+*input* <identifier> accel\_profile adaptive|flat
+ Sets the pointer acceleration profile for the specified input device.
+
+*input* <identifier> click\_method none|button\_areas|clickfinger
+ Changes the click method for the specified device.
+
+*input* <identifier> drag\_lock enabled|disabled
+ Enables or disables drag lock for specified input device.
+
+*input* <identifier> dwt enabled|disabled
+ Enables or disables disable-while-typing for the specified input device.
+
+*input* <identifier> events enabled|disabled|disabled\_on\_external\_mouse
+ Enables or disables send_events for specified input device. (Disabling
+ send_events disables the input device)
+
+*input* <identifier> left\_handed enabled|disabled
+ Enables or disables left handed mode for specified input device.
+
+*input* <identifier> middle\_emulation enabled|disabled
+ Enables or disables middle click emulation.
+
+*input* <identifier> natural\_scroll enabled|disabled
+ Enables or disables natural (inverted) scrolling for the specified input
+ device.
+
+*input* <identifier> pointer\_accel [<-1|1>]
+ Changes the pointer acceleration for the specified input device.
+
+*input* <identifier> repeat\_delay <milliseconds>
+ Sets the amount of time a key must be held before it starts repeating.
+
+*input* <identifier> repeat\_rate <characters per second>
+ Sets the frequency of key repeats once the repeat\_delay has passed.
+
+*input* <identifier> scroll\_method none|two\_finger|edge|on\_button\_down
+ Changes the scroll method for the specified input device.
+
+*input* <identifier> tap enabled|disabled
+ Enables or disables tap for specified input device.
+
+## SEAT CONFIGURATION
+
+Configure options for multiseat mode. sway-seat commands must be used inside a
+_seat { }_ block in the config.
+
+A *seat* is a collection of input devices that act independently of each other.
+Seats are identified by name and the default seat is _seat0_ if no seats are
+configured. Each seat has an independent keyboard focus and a separate cursor that
+is controlled by the pointer devices of the seat. This is useful for multiple
+people using the desktop at the same time with their own devices (each sitting
+in their own "seat").
+
+*seat* <name> attach <input\_identifier>
+ Attach an input device to this seat by its input identifier. A special
+ value of "\*" will attach all devices to the seat.
+
+*seat* <name> fallback true|false
+ Set this seat as the fallback seat. A fallback seat will attach any device
+ not explicitly attached to another seat (similar to a "default" seat).
