  1. I'm no longer able to do double taps and use two or three fingers for easy use of the touchpad.


    I'm no longer able to do double taps and use two or three fingers for easy use of the touchpad. In my settings, when I get to "Touchpad" and then "Taps", underneath it says: "Use taps to click, right-click..." But the text is in a grey color rather than black and there are no options beside "Touchpad Sensitivity" that I can access.

    :)

    Touchpad: Tap twice to drag

    Here's how it works standardly:

    1. Tap twice
    2. Hold down on the second tap
    3. Move around and you're dragging
    4. Release finger to stop dragging

    Here's what I like it to do:

    1. Tap twice
    2. Hold down on the second tap
    3. Move around and you're dragging
    4. Release finger
    5. Reposition finger and continue dragging by flicking the touchpad some more
    6. (repeat steps 4 & 5 as many times as desired)
    7. Release finger and perform one addditional tap to stop dragging

    That's what it used to be like in the Windows 7 era with most touchpads. Some people found it annoying and disabled it, but I welcomed it.

    I know dragging continues when your finger reaches the touchpad edges, but that I find greatly irritating because it looses all sense of precision. This mechanism is stupendously irritating when trying to pixel-precise drag a trackbar, or when doing some
    painting in photoshop on the go. Or just anything that requires precision.

    So I'd like to disable "drag continues at touchpad edge" and enable "require additional tap to stop dragging".

    So how can I do that?

    If not possible, then please consider this a feature request.

  3. Precision Touchpad: How can I prevent double-tap drag from being interrupted by two finger scroll?

    Sort of a finicky issue. This is what usually happens when I try to drag something with the touchpad:

    1. I double-tap with one finger on the element I want to drag, holding after the second tap.

    2. I drag the finger across the touchpad; my cursor and the element moves accordingly.

    3. I risk dragging over the edge of the touchpad, so I start dragging with two fingers, one leading, one behind, with the intent of lifting the leading finger and transitioning the drag to the trailing finger.

    4. The drag is cancelled because I used two fingers and now the touchpad thinks I'm trying to scroll.

    Is there any way to configure the touchpad so that it doesn't look for a scrolling gesture until after the double-tap has been completed? Or to put it another way, so that only one finger is tracked at a time while the user is dragging?
