Description Vukasin 2015-08-10 07:38:02 UTC
The idea is:
1) 1 finger click should be used for left click - enabled across whole touchpad surface, 
2) 2 fingers click should be used for right click 
3) 3 fingers click should be used for middle click.

So if I click on bottom right corner it will act as left click but not right.

I'm running Fedora 21 - KDE 4.14.6

Reproducible: Always

This could also probably be considered a bug.

In the case of full touchpads (no physical separate buttons), the buttons are under the touchpad, and you can click anywhere.

If you set the bottom right corner to do left click, if you press it (not tap it), a right click is performed.

I'm not sure what the issue is. Fedora 21 uses synaptics driver for touchpad and KCM-touchpad allows you to do exactly the same - one finger click for left click, 2 finger for right and 3 finger for middle.
Note that newer distros such as Fedora 22 uses libinput driver and such customizing are not available at the moment.

The issue is that I don't want to have right click when I click on right bottom corner - I want it to be left click. 
For right click I'm using 2 fingers click which is already in place.

This feature is already implemented in Libinput, the successor to xf86-synaptics. Once Libinput support is added here, we'll get the feature for free. Marking as a duplicate of the "support Libinput" bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383379

This is implemented as "Left handed mode" in the Libinput touchpad KCM, which is currently only available in Wayland.
