Created attachment 157916 [details] Screenshot STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Image you're a user wanting to configure right clicking via the touchpad in the System Settings. 2. See the screenshot Two-finger tapping and pressing in the bottom-right corner of the touchapd don't have to be mutually exclusive. Proposed solution: the "Right click" option should be only one checkbox, "Right click also be pressing in the bottom-right corner" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Kubuntu 22.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3
Just saw the note in bug 460102 about support for both two-finger tap and clicking the bottom-right corner. Can someone from the KDE team please make that feature request at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues? Not only do they carry much more weight than one of us random users, but their Gitlab also says, "Due to an influx of spam, we have had to impose restrictions on new accounts."
Not sure how they're contradictory; these are separate settings; the backend Libinput driver lets you independently configure the tap-to-click and touchpad click settings. What exactly is the issue? Can you clarify? > Can someone from the KDE team please make that feature request at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues? Sure but let's resolve this issue first.
What confused me is that on one hand (#460102) it's impossible to right click both via pressing the bottom-right corner and with a two-finger tap, and on the other if you want to right click, there seem to be two different ways to do so (indicated in the screenshot): "Two-finger tap" and 'Press bottom-right corner". In the meantime I've moved to Fedora 37 + Plasma 5.27.4, and I can in fact activate the right click action in both ways mentioned above, with the settings from the screenshot. So I have all the functionality I need now, and I just think the language of the right click option could be clarified by having the "Right click" option should be only one checkbox, "Right click also by pressing in the bottom-right corner".
> only one checkbox, "Right click also by pressing in the bottom-right corner". Unfortunately that wouldn't be accurate. Libinput does provide two methods of right-clicking with a buttonless touchpad, but you have to choose between them; you can't activate both at once. This isn't super obvious, though. We are planning to improve the UI to make the available options more clear; see Bug 466166 and the mockup posted in there.
