Mmm. I used 'xev' as per this link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libinput#Manual_button_re-mapping

to find which buttons are triggering o keypad interactions.

Sadly, apparently taps to the touchpad 'column' are are not even recognized (or double taps). I recognizes scroll down (5) and scroll up (4) as buttons but it appears be impossible at this level. Maybe i was hallucinating using that area as 3rd mouse button previously?

It also recognizes single tap on the central area to button 1 (same as left mouse button), and double tap to button 3 (same as right mouse button). Very very very occasionally (like once every 30 times) it recognizes a triple tap as 2 (middle mouse) instead of (3) right click. When it doesn't disastrously move the pointer.

I'm wondering if i can use 'xinput set-button-map' to reassign the central area double tap for button 2 and leave the actual physical button right as button 3. Probably will change both with my luck and i'll not be able to right click.
