Bug ID: 95458
Summary: option to disable new "middle click" functionality
Product: Wayland
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: libinput
Assignee: wayland-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: bwya...@gmail.com
Would it be possible to add an option to disable the new "middle click" region
on the bottom edge of my touchpad? I have never found valuable use for this
section, and I find it gets in the way more often than not.
The two big annoyances thus far I have found are:
1)When I try to left or right click, I tend to hit the middle area for both,
and I end up having to stretch my thumb further left and right than is
comfortable to get a valid left and right click.
2)As an extension to the above issue, whenever I am typing or working with
text, I will often accidentally hit the middle button and it will then paste
whatever was last stored to my clipboard. Which is usually a boatload of text
from a log output or something, and I have to then clear it out.
Now, I'm not saying that I don't appreciate the middle click functionality. I,
however, would like not to use it, and thus a way to turn it off would be
awesome. If that comes as a Gnome control center toggle or a command line
argument is fine with me.
