Tapping settings

SUMMARY

By default, tapping input (equivalent to left-click) is disable in touchpad. This causes a normal/non-tech user to think that their touchpad is not entirely compatible with "Linux" or, maybe, that their touchpad is broken. I suggest enabling the taping function by default for a better user experience.

Remember: Simple by default, powerful when needed. :)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try a live session of KDE NEON or other distro.
2. Tapping on "Install System".

OBSERVED RESULT
It doesn't open/execute because tapping is disable by default.

EXPECTED RESULT
"Install System" and other "icons" and "folders" must be opened when tapping, in the same way they do when clicking left-button.
