No Option for TouchPad Tap to Click - Bill_Chatfield - 12-26-2025

The mouse configuration tool doesn't have an option to turn on tap-to-click for touch pads. Is there a standard way to do this? I added
/etc/X11/xorg/conf.d/touchpad.conf:

Code:
Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "touchpad"
  Driver "libinput"
  MatchIsTouchpad "on"
  Option "Tapping" "on"
EndSection


It works, but I think the mouse config should be able to do it.

Search upstream.  Another "should be simple" that's not, depending on what Exactly what you want to do in Exactly what software.  Can't remember but I think xinput (need to install) and ds-mouse (should already have) and some manual config are worth a look.  Please keep us posted if you are so-inclined.
