            Bug ID: 89511
           Summary: feature request: triple tap (double-click + drag)
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: libinput
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: grawity at gmail.com

The synaptics driver used to recognize 3x tapping as doubleclick+drag. That is,
instead of two taps [like you would for a regular selection], you could tap the
touchpad 3 times, resulting in click - release - click - drag/select - release.

This is useful when selecting text, as the double-click selects a single word,
and dragging then proceeds to select word-by-word in most programs. (For
example, Chromium or gnome-terminal.)

The libinput driver only recognizes this as a regular double-click followed by
a regular cursor move.

Currently I can just use physical buttons as a replacement, but might this be
implemented sometime in the future?

libinput 0.12.0-7-g8ffc213
xf86-input-libinput 0.8.0
