<pre>Hello
I recently switched from Synaptics to libinput (as that became default in Arch
linux recently)
I generally do not like tap to click behavior because I always end-up clicking
something by accidental touches and hence I always disable it.
But in synaptics I used 3-finger tapping (middle click). It was very handy for
opening links in new tab directly. And it is very unlikely that someone will
accidentally touch 3 fingers on touchpad.
I was able achieve do this in Synaptics setting "TapButton1" and "TapButton2"
to zero and "TapButton3" to 2 in xorg.conf.d file.
In libinput there is one similar option to set "ButtonMapping".
If I set it to "0 2 0" then one finger and 2 finger taps dont work but 3 finger
taps work. But wait it also disable physical left and right buttons too!
How do I keep physical button active but only 3-finger tap to work (i.e. 1
finger or 2 finger tap should not do anything)
Please suggest or accept my request for this feature.
Thank you</pre>
