Hi there,
I'm using Sway but how are the "flat" and "adaptive" mouse acceleration profiles defined?

I would like to create my own custom profile for it and would need some guidance where I can look up the existing acceleration profiles.

Thanks for making Sway, I ❤️ it :D

@JayceFayne
In fact, libinput v1.23 introduced custom acceleration profiles for pointer control.
But according man 5 sway-input accel_profile can be either flat or adaptive.
Could the compositor support accel_profile custom for better customization?

@mstoeckl
I noticed your contributions in this area—could you comment on whether this could be implemented and if a PR prepared by me adding the support could be mergeable?

Yes.

and if a PR prepared by me adding the support could be mergeable?

I'm not part of swaywm/sway and therefore cannot commit to anything: but I do think that such an option would fall within the project scope.

I think it'd make sense to add such an option. Would probably end up being somewhat similar to calibration_matrix.
