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 & touchpadbut no luck
Middle click with two-finger tap on touchpad but I didn't havesynclientinstalled. 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
