I'm not sure if the feature I want to activate is called Momentum. I want the cursor to continue moving in a direction like I'm pushing a ball. If I push the ball softy, it will continue moving a little bit after I lift my finger from the touch pad. If I push the ball harder, it will continue moving faster and further.

I have tried the command of the accepted answer of the following question, but that answer if for the scrolling Momentum and not for the cursor Momentum: How do I enable mouse momentum after release in kde/gnome/unity?

If we type: synclient | grep Momentum, we can't see any related command to activate the Momentum feature.

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04LTS.

  • Check man synaptics and see if it has an option for it there. e.g. 'CornerCoasting' means 'Enable edge scrolling to continue while the finger stays in an edge corner.' – Wilf Dec 23 '14 at 00:32
  • @Wilf reading your comment I guess the feature I want to activate is not Edge Motion. Please, read the description. Do you know how this feature is called? – chelder Dec 23 '14 at 04:26

This feature is missing. You would need the Synaptic Gesture Suite which only OEMs have access to.

I really hope that at some point this will change. Someone please post here if it does!
