Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
When I check 'Left-handed mouse' on 'Mouse Orientation' the external
mouse and the synaptics touchpad buttons are correctly switched, but the
synaptics touchpad "tap-buttons" (simulated button clicks when you tap,
double-tap or triple-tap on the touchpad) keeps the default order (right
handed) which makes the tapping wrong. (single tapping keeps generating
the equivalent of the left click, but due to buttons being inverted, a
right click effect is what you get).
gsypantics also does not helps as this application does not have this
capability.
There are two ways to correct the "tap-buttons":
1. Editing xorg.conf and adding inside the synaptics input driver
configuration the following options:
Option "TapButton1" "3"
Option "TapButton3" "1"
2. Editing xorg.conf and adding inside the synaptics input driver
configuration the following option:
Option "SHMConfig" "true"
and using the synclient command to interactivelly update the tapbuttons,
with the following command:
$ synclient TapButton1=3 TapButton3=1
The expected way is that this command should be executed whenever 'Left
handed mouse' is checked and the inverse executed when unchecked.
