If in System->Preferences->Mouse I check the left handed box, now when I tap on
my touchpad it considers it to be a right click. It should continue to treat
tapping on the touchpad itself as a left click -- laptop touchapds are usually
centered on the laptop and thus are orientation neutral. In my case I want my
mouse when plugged in to be left handed, but when it's not and I use my touchpad
it should assume a tap is a left click. I can't think of any reason why a user
would want tapping their touchpad to be a right click, it's basically useless.
And most touchpads come with a couple buttons for clicking with beneath them --
these it makes sense to reverse. But tapping the touchpad should always be a
left click.
