如何从 C 代码配置 libinput 设备？

Question

在 wayland 上没有 libinput 的配置文件。这通常不是问题，因为桌面环境（例如 Gnome）通常提供一种配置设备的方法。但是，无法为触控板设备启用中间点击模拟。默认情况下（使用按钮区域以便我可以在触摸板的右下角单击鼠标右键）还会创建一个中间按钮区域。这通常会导致我在尝试左键单击和中键单击时单击中间按钮（导致粘贴某些内容）。如果启用中间仿真，则可以禁用此中间单击区域，但是由于 Gnome 不提供配置此方法的方法，我决定尝试构建自己的程序来执行此操作。

我查看了 libinput 的 API 文档和示例（不幸的是，我似乎找不到任何设备配置示例）。下面的代码是我整理的（用command in comment编译的）

/**
 * Simple program to setup libinput touchpad to use middle click emulation in wayland.
 *
 * To build install libinput-devel and libudev-devel
 * gcc -o middleemulation main.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs libinput libudev`

  }

  return 0;
}

我已经在 Ubuntu 18.04 (Dell Inspiron 5000) 和 Fedora 30 (HP Pavilion 15) 上进行了测试。在这两种情况下，程序都指示成功，但是当运行 libinput list-devices 它仍然显示中间仿真被禁用并且行为没有改变。

程序输出（HP Pavilion）

Found touchpad: 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad'.
Is middle click enabled: false.
Enabling middle emulation for device...Succeeded.
Is middle click enabled: true.

运行程序

之后 libinput list-devices 的输出

看起来这需要预加载库才能按预期工作。这里的解决方案：https://github.com/gaul/libinput-force-middle-click-emulation 适合我。
