Remaps control/super keys and adds basic Mac gestures for Macbook + Ubuntu MATE 16.04. Specifically tested with Early 2015 Macbook Pro Retina (12,1).

Run sudo install.sh.

• Installs xmodmap, touchegg, and adds both to startup applications

• Adds mtrack multitouch trackpad driver

• Changes key mappings with .Xmodmap

  • Note: left super & ctrl keys will both map to ctrl. This is my solution for making most Mac keyboard keystrokes work the same (namely cmd-X, cmd-C, cmd-V).
  • If you change the .Xmodmap, touchegg.conf will likely need updating, as it relies on key mappings.

• Configures mac-like gestures

  • Two finger scroll
  • Two finger left/right navigation in Chrome/Firefox (IMO this doesn't work very good)
  • Four finger up: show workspaces (sort of like mission control)
  • Four finger down: minimize all/maximize all
  • Four finger left/right: switch workspace left/right

• Disables synaptics gestures (which have priority over touchegg)

• Restarts touchegg.
