Thanks as the maintainer of xdg-utils in a major distro i'll have a look
at this and get it fixed, i've contributed most of the xdg-utils code
for enlightenment, the bug is now tracked here
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1084236 so I remember to
go fix it.

Yeah so I have one profile I load onto all my machines during first run,
its more flexible then just copying all of .e, because my machines have
different size monitors and a couple have an extra screen, but all using
the same profile means that my keyboard bindings and shelf layout for
the main screen and my list of modules loaded is the same on each machine.

It really would be nice to have something for those of use who have not used a 
mouse in nearly 15 years and whose wrists thank us for it!

Juan, just edit the libinput config directly (in X11: 
/user/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf):
Arch Wiki (always good no matter your distro!): 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libinput
Man pages: https://www.mankier.com/4/libinput (or of course, man libinput 
in the terminal)

If you are using Wayland, there is a graphical front end (see link at bottom of 
Arch wiki).

Best,
Roy

e has nothing. you might want to look at synclient (synaptics client) to
configure it on the cmdline.

[e-users] Enlightenment and touchpads

[Juan Matias de la Camara]

Hello.

I'm using Enlightenment in a notebook with Fedora 27.

I can't find a way to set "tap to click" and "natural scrolling" on my
touchpad.

Touchpad is working to move the pointer and to perform a scroll with two
fingers.

I searched on the web, but can't find a way to  set it up. I found an email
from 2016 saying that "would be cool" to have a way to set these options.


May you help me? Is there a way to set these two options?

Thanks.

 And does that *really* change xdg settings?
 
 The *big* problem for me is that when I click on a mailto:
 link in chromium-browser, it just opens another browser window,
 or sometimes pops up a window saying it wants to run some 
 unspecified program recommended by xdg, which never does 
 anything. If anyone knows how to force chromium-browser to
 open Thunderbird, I'd be grateful.>>>

Hah. Fixed.

Nothing to do with handlers, nothing to do with MIME types.

Everything to do with xdg and its default action, which is to open a
*browser* instead of a *mailer* for mailto: actions. This is entirely
wrong, and I am shocked that the xdg project would make such an
elementary error. It also happens because xdg doesn't know about e.

Solution: edit /usr/bin/xdg-email and at the bottom, inside the case
command, add

enlightenment)
open_gnome "${mailto}"
;;

before the generic entry. Save and exit.
