Bug Description

Mouse pad not clicking
Some Kubuntu commands are with middle mouse, so on touchpads clicks, middle clicks and right-click should be on pads without buttons too as with buttons.

Make this default for everyone.

Answer there :"After some additional searching I found the solution to my problem here

I had to add Option "Tapping" "True" to the entry MatchIsTouchpad in the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf. The exact name of the file might be different for other people.

In the end, the relevant section will look like something like this:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        Option "Tapping" "True"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection
You need to be root to edit the file and reboot your system after the changes!"
