Hello, Nice find, there is one issue I have run into with the quick fix… After following the steps outlined in your email, here’s what I’ve found.
With the option turned on with a laptop the right side of the keyboard is made useless as it is trying to use this side for the mouse buttons. I have to turn off the feature to type anything in a text field. Any idea how to get around this issue?
