fingerpaint 1.1.1

Draw using your laptop's touchpad

FingerPaint

This utility lets you draw using your laptop's touchpad on Linux.

Pressing any key or clicking the touchpad will finish the drawing.

Your touchpad will not control the cursor while drawing, though external mice should still work.

No Wayland support at the moment, I need a simple xinput disable ... replacement.
