If this works, this will survive any driver update as well. You will need logout/login to activate it (it is possible to also change live using synclient or xinput commands). See “man 4 synaptics” for details on this option.

Providing output of command that was already requested would have been a good start. Anyway, same answer - X11 and Wayland are configured in different places and in any case it depends on which input drivers you are using. When I’m dragging something with the mouse, I don’t want to have to hold the mouse button down the whole time I’m dragging. May be there are applications that allow to do it. How do I do that?įor low level settings we need to know whether you are using X11 or Wayland. I want pressing the right mouse button to give me a right-click, and pressing the left mouse button to give me a left-click. This is default behavior of libinput (which is usually used by default on Linux today) when having Apple devices. One finger gives me a left-click, two fingers gives me a right-click. It detects how many fingers I’m using to press the button. That’s because the system doesn’t care if I’m pressing the left or right mouse button. I want to hold the mouse button down for a second or two to get it to drag, then click the mouse when I’m done dragging. In other words: When I’m dragging something with the mouse, I don’t want to have to hold the mouse button down the whole time I’m dragging. I mean pressing the physical mouse buttons on the touch-pad.Īlso, I’d like to enable ClickLock (at least, that’s what it’s called on Windows).
How do I do that? And to be clear: I’m not talking about tapping (I’ve disabled tap-to-click).
As things stand now: Pressing my right-mouse button results in a left-click. My mouse is a touch-pad, and I’m using Leap 15.2 with KDE. I’m a new Linux user, and I’m having trouble with the mouse.
