MX 18 - Two finger double click

[babon]

Hello everyone,
I am using MX 18 on a Thinkpad T460. Everything works perfectly.

I just want to enable two finger right click from the trackpad. Seems like by default, right click is associated with three fingers and whatever is supposed to happen on a middle button / mouse wheel click is associated with two finger tapping.

How can I swap this behaviour? Thanks in advance.

IIRC, you can do this by modifying /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf and changing the "TapButton" parameters. You would probably want to reverse buttons 2 and 3.

here's the original

Code: Select all

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier      "touchpad catchall"             # required
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"                            # required
        Driver          "synaptics"                     # required
        Option          "MinSpeed"              "0.5"
        Option          "MaxSpeed"              "1.0"
        Option          "AccelFactor"           "0.075"
        Option          "TapButton1"            "1"
        Option          "TapButton2"            "2"     # multitouch
        Option          "TapButton3"            "3"     # multitouch
        Option          "VertTwoFingerScroll"   "1"     # multitouch
        Option          "HorizTwoFingerScroll"  "1"     # multitouch
        Option          "VertEdgeScroll"        "1"
        Option          "HorizEdgeScroll" "1" 
        Option          "CoastingSpeed"         "8"
        Option          "CornerCoasting"        "1"
        Option          "CircularScrolling"     "1"
        Option          "CircScrollTrigger"     "7"
        Option          "EdgeMotionUseAlways"   "1"
        Option          "LBCornerButton"        "8"     # browser "back" btn
        Option          "RBCornerButton"        "9"     # browser "forward" btn
EndSection

so try modifying the TabButton2 and TapButton3 lines by flipping their values

Code: Select all

 Option          "TapButton1"            "1"
 Option          "TapButton2"            "3"     # multitouch
 Option          "TapButton3"            "2"     # multitouch
 

log out and log in after the change (I don't think a reboot will be required but it might).

Thanks. Perfect.
