Questions[tap-to-click](ubuntu)

I was wondering if there is a way to enable tap-to-click with a second finger. i.e using my index finger to move the mouse then tap-to-click with my middle finger while my index is still on the track pad.

My trackpad can do this as I used to have windows and it worked perfectly. I also currently have gestures enabled and they work perfectly.

I have ubuntu 20.10. Please let me know if you need any other info. I'm not sure what you might need.

I have had a look in "dconf" in /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/touchpad to no avail. I have also tried to search for solutions but i can only find standard tap-to-click settings.

I am a Linux NOOB. Recently made the switch from Windows 10 and I am enjoying my Linux journey so far.

I just installed Awesome Window Manger recently. When I login to Awesome-WM for the first time, I found that my tap-to-click feature isn't working and it was irritating for me. So I used my googling skills and landed on this link and the fix worked!

Unfortunately this thing is not persistent between my login sessions. I need to do this every time while logging into Awesome-WM.

Is there any permanent fix for this?

I just installed Kubuntu on my Dell XPS 15 9570. Everything is working fine, except for tap to click on the touchpad.

I can activate the option in the settings but this has no effect.

My old laptop (Samsung np300v3a, running fresh Ubuntu 18.04) has a broken left trackpad button, that is always pressed. I have been trying to disable the physical keys, but keep the tap to click in order to retain this use of the trackpad.

I've tried modifying xinput button-map, set-props, and some synclient options. I can disable the left click with xinput, but this also disables the tap to click function.

I upgraded from Ubuntu 17.10 to 18.04 and realized tap to click is not reliable anymore. Approximately 40% of taps simply does nothing. Did you notice similar issues? Is it possible to fix this? (I use lenovo l450).

Edit: I use xorg session.
