Option to activate/deactivate two finger right click #143

Prerequisites

Feature

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm always annoyed when i'm reading a pdf and accidentally tap with 2 fingers on the touchpad. This then pops up the right click menu, which I was not expecting... Then I was frustrated when I was not able to easily adjust this behaviour. I could disable "tap to click" all together, but that is annoying too.

The settings menu: Schermafdruk van 2020-04-18 12 21 53

Describe the solution you'd like

The solution I would like is the feature described here at 5.) https://support.apple.com/guide/bootcamp-control-panel/set-trackpad-options-bcmpa82153f3/mac

""" Under Two Fingers, select Secondary Click to be able to perform a secondary click by placing two fingers on the trackpad, then clicking. """

Existing work

Elsewhere I have seen it on many other software platforms. Most commonly the option is displayed in the "mouse" or touchpad settings. Most commonly this feature is by default turned on.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I considered installing a third party tool to fix it (but didn't yet).

Additional context

danirabbit commented 3 years ago

In order to implement this, we would need this option to be exposed in GNOME Settings Daemon. Please report an issue upstream in GitLab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/-/issues

Closing as "Out of scope" since this is just a frontend to the settings provided by GNOME Settings Daemon and the requested option isn't available upstream
