Support for Secondary Click #47

Closed hiradyazdan closed 4 years ago

hiradyazdan commented 4 years ago

Hi, I was wondering if this driver can support a secondary click that can be activated and have option to choose to click in bottom right corner as well? If not, it would be great to support it.

Thanks

Unless you mean something like "force touch", it's not the driver's job. You should rather look at something like libinput instead. Secondary button clicks work just fine for me with two fingers, and having virtual buttons in bottom corners worked fine after applying appropiate libinput quirks last time I checked.

Oh! Thanks, I didn't realize that. I guess now I have to figure out how to configure the libinput's button areas and clickfinger behavior, right?

Edit: So far, my search over this has been unsuccessful @dos1. If you have a clear vision on how this can be implemented I'd be grateful to hear that.

FYI, libinput quirks on their own does not take permanent effect and solves this problem. It is the desktop environment which overrides/forces its own settings. So in my case was gnome which uses libinput overriding xorg config, and following command worked permanently:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method 'areas'
