Hot to disable 3 finger tap (Libinput)
I want to disable the paste action associated with the 3 finger tapping because it is not a behavior helpful for me and also somehow dangerous.
Most of the post (for ex. this one) report either to:
- add
TappingButtonMapto xorg.conf ( this option allows only to invert button not to disable them). - set
ButtonMapping property by CLI ->xinput set-prop $ID ButtonMapping 1 2 3 ...` ( this actually changes the physical button )
Both solutions are not sufficient for my purpose.
- I think it is not possible with libinput to disable one single tapping, am I right?
- Is there any Plasma setting that can help to accomplish this ?

I have also searched a lot how to disable the 3 finger tap, because I was using libinput-gestures and it fired the tap when I wanted to swipe. But I think that libinput doesn't provides for now a configuration to disable one of the TappingButton.
If you really want to disable the 3 finger tap, you can download your version of libinput from the gitlab https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput (be sure to download the same version as yours by downloading it from the release list https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libinput/).
Then, you will have to modify the line 128 of the evdev-mt-touchpad-tap.c file. Replace
if (nfingers > 3)
By
if (nfingers > 2)
You can now compile and install libinput following the instructions given on https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/building.html
Be sure to download all the dependencies that meson needs.
In my case (Ubuntu 18.04 Gnome 3.28.3), I had to install
- libudev-dev
- libmtdev-dev
- libevdev-dev
- libwacom-dev
- check
- valgrind
