<pre><span class="quote">> tbh, I don't quite understand why it's more impractical to click on two buttons than putting three fingers down and pressing the button with a fourth finger.</span >
It's the position of the hand that is different. You rest two fingers on the
touchpad while clicking with you thumb, your hand not far away from the
keyboard. it's more difficult to click on the two buttons at the same time. It
requires coordination and to move the hand far away from the keyboard.
<span class="quote">> it's not about the code itself as much as it is about the maintenance efforts of writing tests for it, making sure future feature additions are compatible, etc.</span >
I understand you want to keep the code simple and not end up with a mess like
synaptics, but if I were you, I would accept such contribution at the condition
that it simplifies the code overall. Especially since no new configuration
option must be added (it's already there.
However, I don't want to spend time trying to find an elegant solution here if
I have no chance to get my patch upstream.</pre>
