I am looking at the System Settings => Input Devices => Touchpad but nothing jumps out.



On Ubuntu/Unity, it is obvious which setting to use when wanting to play around with "tap to click".



Thanks

          To enable the touchpad tapping permanently , copy the
          50-synaptics.conf file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d then edit it by
          adding Option "TapButton1" "1"



          cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf


          The /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf should be:



          Section "InputClass"
          Identifier "touchpad catchall"
          Driver "synaptics"
          MatchIsTouchpad "on"
          Option "TapButton1" "1"
          Option "TapButton2" "3"


          Reboot your system




          in your case set TapButton1 to 0 to look like this



          Section "InputClass"
          Identifier "touchpad catchall"
          Driver "synaptics"
          MatchIsTouchpad "on"
          Option "TapButton1" "0"
