Bug ID: 393755
Summary: No corresponding option in conf for GUI's pad "Mouse
click emulation"
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.12.4
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org

Pad "Mouse click emulation" option with grayed out sub-options
At the moment Plasma's pad settings are stored in ~/.config/touchpadrc
Enabling the "Mouse click emulation" in GUI is adding a line:
Tapping=true
Disabling the option is either making that line disappear or adds:
Tapping=false
The issue is: in GUI we have 3 sub-options for 1, 2 and 3 finger taps and they
are grayed out. So either corresponding options are not developed yet or
unknown, or incorrectly applied in conf.
I'm raising this issue because this is how it looks like since a long time and
middle click (3 finger tap) is producing notices with pasted text on a desktop
which is supper annoying. On the other hand 1 finger tap is a necessity so it
forces us to have this on (true) and yet don't allow us to disable 3 finger tap
(middle mouse click emulation). This may create conflicts with
libinput-gestures where we can define 3 finger swipes which they work
wonderfully but not on Plasma, because each 3 finger swipe is interpreted as
two actions: swipe and tap, producing unwanted notes on desktop space or
pasting clipboard output to windows.
I tried to counteract it with adding a line to:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf
Option "MiddleEmulation" "False"
Didn't work, even after deleting touchpadrc and reboot. So far there seems to
be no working method to disable 3 finger taps and if tap is on, it's on for all
options.
Some workaround would be to add an option to define what middle click (wheel
click) does in mouse settings and we could choose: no effect, but mouse
settings don't have such GUI option so far.
