Hi,
I have a Thinkpad T440 with:
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=synaptics-pt/serio0/input0
There is something that I'm missing and I don't know if it's physically
(hardware limitation) possible. I'd like to Right click and then move
the position.
With my current configuration this is not possible (this is a copy-paste from
some Internet pages and some local changes):
# Custom xorg.conf.d snippet that assigns the touchpad driver
# to all touchpads. See xorg.conf.d(5) for more information on
# InputClass.
# Additional options may be added in the form of
# Option "OptionName" "value"
#
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
# This option is recommend on all Linux systems using evdev, but cannot be
# enabled by default. See the following link for details:
# http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-ignore-configuration-errors.html
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
# This sets the top area of the touchpad to not track
# movement but can be used for left/middle/right clicks
Option "SoftButtonAreas" "60% 0 0 2400 40% 60% 0 2400"
Option "AreaTopEdge" "2400"
# Helps to reduce mouse cursor "jumpiness"
Option "HorizHysteresis" "15"
Option "VertHysteresis" "15"
# Settings reported to work well on an X1 Carbon
Option "FingerLow" "40"
Option "FingerHigh" "45"
Option "MinSpeed" "1"
Option "MaxSpeed" "1"
Option "AccelerationProfile" "2"
Option "ConstantDeceleration" "4"
# Disable edge scrolling, I prefer two-finger scroll instead
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "0"
Option "TapAndDragGesture" "1"
# Enable three-finger tap for middle mouse click
Option "TapButton3" "3"
# Carles
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
EndSection
Any advice of how to do it? Can the Thinkpad's synaptic process the right-click
and then with another finger move the position?
Using a standard mouse is very easy: right click and then move the mouse.
I thought that the TapAndDragGesture could be this but I guess that it's
not...
Thank you!
