Hi,
I've begun drafting this. I have some questions about F28 that I'm hoping some folks on this list can provide more details on.
*snip*
Here is one thing that *VERY BADLY NEEDS EXPLAINING*:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757255 https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.28/
I just upgraded my laptop to F28 and had no damn idea what had happened to right click. Apparently it had changed to how Macs do it because obviously Linux users expect everything to work like it does on a Mac. (What?)
Yeah I'm totally lost on this, not least of which is I'm not experiencing the behavior reported in the bug or the release notes. The application referenced in the release notes is not installed by default. And the application once installed doesn't have the options in it that the release notes says it should have.
I imagine this depends to some extent on hardware. I don't think it applies if your laptop has *physical* mouse buttons on it somewhere, for e.g. It also may not apply if the laptop does button emulation in firmware or something, such that libinput can't change it.
(And off topic but I do *not* like that very prominent HURT ME BUTTON, labeled "Touchpad" with an on/off slider. Turning it off is for real and easy. Turning it back on again? Hahaha, figure it out yourself!)
Well, that's obviously there for the case where you have some other input device and don't want accidental touches on the touchpad getting in the way. E.g. a USB mouse, or you use the touchscreen. It's not really *that* hard to trigger again with tab / enter if you hit it by accident when you *don't* have an external mouse or a touch screen, really...I guess it could stand a bit better 'don't click this without thinking about it' labelling, though...
