Feature #7779
Revisit default touchpad settings
100%
Description
Depending on their IT background, users are more or less confused by Tails default touchpad settings. E.g. the lack of “tap to click” and of “two-fingers scroll” is painful on Mac hardware, and for Mac users. It could be tempting to enable these features by default in Tails. OTOH, unless drivers support “disable touchpad while typing” very well, “tap to click” is very painful.
See the blueprint for a survey of what other operating systems do, and ideas.

#4 Updated by sajolida about 10 years ago
I’ve seen that this has been added to the agenda for the January meeting but the ticket is still in Research state and has never been assigned to anybody.
- Has enough research been done? Do we have enough information?
- I understand that the question here is whether or not we should enable tap to click by default. Anything else?

My existing research was done a year ago, so it could be worth updating it. It’s also lacking data about Windows default settings. So IMO we can’t really discuss that topic yet.

If we are going to change the default touchpad settings, then I think we should aim to do it all at once. So IMO we should decide something for all four major available settings.

During the meeting we agreed that a reasonnable config would be: tap-to-click, 2-fingers scroll, disable while typing, no reverse scrolling.

Seems to work, except in the Greeter. Need to patch /etc/gdm3/greeter.gsettings
, beware of compatibility with config/chroot_local-patches/gdm-background.diff
.
