Bug ID: 409847
Summary: Enhancement: Accessibility - Add optional On-Demand
two-finger scrolling for touchpads
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jose...@main.nc.us
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Add a touchpad configuration option that only enables touchpad two-finger
scrolling when a modifier key is being pressed. This should not impact other
touchpad functionality - just two-finger scrolling.
I have described this in detail, including why I need it here:
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=216&t=155524
Thus option would dramatically improve my user experience. The current problem
occurs several times every hour and disrupts my work flow.
OBSERVED RESULT
Unintentional touchpad scrolling occurs frequently which is very frustrating
EXPECTED RESULT
Touchpad continues to work normally, but only scrolls when I explicitly want it
to (by holding down a fixed or configurable modifier key such as Alt, Ctrl, or
Super. and using two-finger scrolling)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Any, but I currently use kubuntu 18.04.
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have two partially numb fingers on my right hand and I don't feel them
touching the touchpad until it's too late and my screen goes careening off to
multiple other desktops or window positions I did not want.
Two-finger scrolling is a great feature. I do not want to eliminate it. I just
want to eliminate unintentional scrolling.

Since System Settings already has options for configuring two-finger scrolling,
some of the infrastructure required for this feature is already implemented.
