Sebastian Wiesendahl (swiesend) wrote : non intuitive touchpad settings on primary key right click setting

I appreciate the enhanced settings for the touchpad, but the touchpad behaves "wrong" when changing the global primary key to "right". The touchpad click also changes from "left" one finger to, "right" two finger tips for a normal click.

This might be expected technically, as the option is defined as a general/global one, but it is bad. This is a very annoying behavior for left handers or people with limited motion.

There should be a separation of concerns for the mouse and the touchpad. The mouse click behavior should not be mapped to the touchpad. I think the changing click should only be a mouse option or two separated options; on for left/right for the mouse and another local option for one finger/two fingers click for the touchpad.
