How could I obtain what I want?

xev
run in the terminal.gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method
returns 'fingers'gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method 'fingers'
apt install dconf-editor
I tried
xev
command and when I tap the touchpad with three fingers there is no output in the terminal instead, when I use the middle click with USB mouse, It detects the button pressure and then the release...this is the output with USB Mouse:
Code: Select all
ButtonPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
root 0x190, subw 0x0, time 587275, (162,2), root:(1033,438),
state 0x10, button 2, same_screen YES
ButtonRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
root 0x190, subw 0x0, time 587403, (162,2), root:(1033,438),
state 0x210, button 2, same_screen YES
Yeah, with Cinnamon or KDE It was all fine...
Yes, I think it could be different
Same output...
'fingers'
Everything seems good. The only thing worthy of note is that there is no a middle click setting
I tried even this...not even "libinput" driver worked...smurphos wrote: ⤴Sun Aug 19, 2018 4:48 amIs your touchpad working correctly otherwise? If all the settings look Ok and it's still not working you could try an alternative touchpad driver. See the XFCE release notes here for instructions - https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_tara_xfce.php
synclient TapButton3=2
command works for what I was searching for...so, I created an executable script with the following code:
Code: Select all
#! /bin/bash
synclient TapButton3=2
exit 0
