Inkscape - ArchWiki

Jump to content

Inkscape is a vector graphics editor application. It is distributed under a free software license, the GNU GPL. Its stated goal is to become a powerful graphics tool while being fully compliant with the XML, SVG, and CSS standards.

## Installation

Install the inkscape package. For the development version, install the inkscape-gitAUR package.

## Troubleshooting

### Pan using spacebar and mouse does not work

By default, libinput disables the mousepad when typing. You can disable this by adding the following line to the `InputClass` section of `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf`:

    Section "InputClass"
        ...
        ...
        Option "DisableWhileTyping" "0"
    EndSection
