Please reconsider, this is not just a preference, it is essential that this feature is enabled by default. Older firmware versions relied on the (Windows/macOS) driver to do this but since Linux did not have a proper driver, Logitech released firmware that provided this tap-to-click functionality. But with the raw mode in kernel 3.19, this was broken again (but users can workaround with disable_raw_mode=1). There is no situation where someone with this device does not want the tap-to-click functionality. While higher layers can try to fix the bad decision made by the lower library, I believe it is the low-level library task to provide a sane default while higher-level users must only have to change this in exceptional cases.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
