Unfortunately the modes are mutually exclusive in the current GNOME

"pretty narrow set of hardware" is absolutely false. It is tuned for
laptops that have clickpads which most of them these days, with only the
exception of some Dell and HP "business" laptops. Everything else ships
with clickpads that support 2 or more fingers (even including most Dell
and HP
Prior to the the version of gnome that ships with 18.04, both forms of
right-click worked out of the box. Sure, there are other trackpads that
don't have the area-based right click, so maybe it's not just "tuned for
Mac", but it is tuned for a pretty narrow set of hardware. Whether it was
"tuned for Mac users" is incorrect, as is the term "normal touchpads" to
refer to personal preference, as is the assertion that people didn't ask
for the feature. ChromeOS laptops only support two-fingers to right
click. And you will find the majority of modern Windows laptops also
support two
Once again, Gnome pushing down "features" tuned for Mac users that
people with normal touchpads don't want and didn't ask for.

Thank God it can still be disabled and
Randy,
It is true, but we have different definitions of "old".
By "old behaviour" we are referring to previous Gnome releases that also
used libinput. And by "old behaviour" you are referring to much older
releases of Ubuntu (Unity) that used the X synaptics touchpad driver
instead of libinput.

The claim that "You can get the old behavior back with the GNOME Tweaks
app" is simply not true. You can toggle between the two menu methods
(two-finger tap and bottom-right click), but I cannot get back the old
behavior of being able to do BOTH. This is not asking people to choose
between the Mac

Gnome Shell: Touchpad right click
Javier,
If your physical buttons (the ones that move independently of the
touchpad, and not just painted on) are not behaving correctly then

I have an Acer Aspire 3 and Ubuntu 18.04, the touchpad works correctly
according to the gnome configuration, that is, a finger anywhere is primary or
left click, two fingers is secondary or right click and three fingers central
click. However my notebook also has two physical buttons, left and
Yes, that is mentioned in https://trello.com/c/i3JvebJ9
Although you then face the problem of upsetting people who prefer doing
two-finger taps :)

Would it be possible to make 'area' mode the default if the touchpad
doesn't support multi-finger input?

Gnome Shell: Touchpad right
I had GNOME (rather than Unity) as my default desktop before upgrading
to 18.04, and I strongly believe that my settings should have been
respected rather than overridden to the installation default. Whatever
the merits of the choice of installation default, it seems clear error
to impose it over
I think we should improve this in 18.10 by moving the setting from
gnome-tweaks into gnome-control-center. That way most users will
actually find it, and be able to resolve the issue themselves.

This is viewed as a confusing regression by a portion of the
userbase[0]. God knows it destroyed my workflow (and morning) when I
updated to 18.04 from 16.04.
For some of us 'old farts' who never use macs and always relied on the
"areas" behavior in both Linux and Windows it would be helpful to
