Reactivating gestures after hibernate

This is a super quick note on how to reactivate touchpad gestures in Archlinux distributions after hibernation if you use libinput-gestures.

Open you editor, add the following content:

[Unit]
Description=Restart gestures
After=suspend.target
After=hibernate.target
After=hybrid-sleep.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/su --command '/usr/bin/libinput-gestures-setup restart' USERNAME

[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target
WantedBy=hibernate.target
WantedBy=hybrid-sleep.target

Save it as /etc/systemd/system/start_gestures, then run sudo systemctl enable start_gestures.service and finally sudo systemctl start start_gestures.service.

After the above, the gestures should be working and will continue to even after hibernation.
