After the latest updates (I assume to gnome-shell), my touchpad right-click switched from "pressing bottom right zone" to "two-finger tap anywhere".



I find this confusing and I want to restore my right-clicks to pressing the bottom-right part of the touchpad.



What I tried so far:




  • Settings -> Mouse & touchpad but no luck


  • Middle click with two-finger tap on touchpad but I didn't have synclient installed. After installing, I get: Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?

Any ideas?

          I came across https://askubuntu.com/questions/999631/ubuntu-17-10-disable-touchpad-bottom-right-corner-right-click



          That pointed me in the right direction.



          Running



          gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad


          lists all touchpad settings. I'm only interested in



          gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method


          which at the moment returns fingers.



          Now I just needed to know what are the valid options I can set this key to.
          After some digging, I found range



          gsettings range org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method


          which returns




          enum

          'default'

          'none'

          'areas'

          'fingers'




          Finally, running this solved it:



          gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method areas
