In the past there have been voices to have a consistent user experience
a) with KDE/GNOME b) other WMs, that don't ship graphical tools to change it c) and the behaviour during installation
and the end result was, that we want to have it disabled by default driver-wise.
I think the decision was made rather "to follow upstream".
Could be, after we couldn't agree on a consistent default. I no longer remember exactly ...
What's the default on current Windows/MacOS operating systems?
Windows enables tap-to-click on as default, at least, on all preloaded machines I've seen. Not sure how the bare Windows installation behaves, though.
I believe this is true, since I could only find hints via Google how to disable it. ;-)
On MacOS, tap-to-click is definitely enabled; Mac have no physical buttons :)
Well, a lot of hints could be found via Google how to enable this feature, e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dnml6j3wFsM so it seems to be disabled by default. But how one can click at all without any mouse buttons (I couldn't see any on the video above either) I do not understand either ... My guess is that more users are considering to switch from Windows to Linux than from MacOs to Linux, so the default to have tab-to-click enabled makes sense to me. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
