[Tails-dev] Option to disable mouse clicks with touchpad in Tails Greeter
Hi, Copying -ux for historical reasons. And maybe moving there, too. Michael English: with Tails ... mouse clicks with touchpad are enabled by default and there is no easy way to turn it off before starting the OS. Hardware Controls are important :) u: Mouse clicks with the touchpad are not disabled in Debian by default afaik. I am in favour of having mouseclicks with the touchpad enabled, as the contrary seems even more confusing. Disabled or not, having more control before starting Tails is a good experience. We will keep this in mind when working through the startup flow [0].

Mouse clicks with the touchpad are not disabled in Debian by default afaik. I am in favour of having mouseclicks with the touchpad enabled as the contrary seems even more confusing. I've seen in one user testing session when this was not yet the case that people were completely unable to understand why they could not click as they normally do. There is always one or the other person who has problems with either one of the solutions I fear.

[Tails-dev] Option to disable mouse clicks with touchpad in Tails Greeter
My biggest complaint with Tails right now is that mouse clicks with touchpad are enabled by default and there is no easy way to turn it off before starting the OS. In Debian, mouse clicks with touchpad are disabled by default which I think is the better option to avoid accidental mouse clicks. Especially for a secure environment, accidentally clicking on something can have severe consequences. For example, my touchpad on my laptop is very sensitive and I have accidentally clicked into the wrong field when entering a password. Tails Greeter should at least have an option to disable mouse clicks with touchpad before logging in. ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
