Add click method to touchpad settings #39

Closed serebit closed 1 year ago

serebit commented 1 year ago

Description

This setting allows the user to change how different types of mouse clicks are emulated on a touchpad, and is a simple mapping of a (probably long-existing) dconf property.

Interesting read. One of the libinput devs seems to warn about having both tap-to-click and click-method in the same area ... maybe will confuse users.

Will read this more to fully understand the issues

Worth investigation, I suppose, but the libinput devs floated similar reasons for not including the mouse acceleration profile in settings. Even if it could potentially confuse users, I think this is too important a setting to hide behind dconf.

ok - had a look at this. With the current wording and hint I was a bit of a "what is this?" - then I read the dconf key description and things kind of made sense especially when I played with "fingers" vs "areas". This is where a picture graphic or a descriptive tooltop would have been helpful. The "None" vs "Hardware" didn't really register with me - I didn't really have the context of what these options were at first. had to read a reddit thread!

So we need a bit more clarity - let me think a bit further and propose.
