[Bug 1481784] Re: [enhancement] Support two-finger right click on clickpads

 

That's an interesting assertion. I'm not saying it's wrong, but it is a
major statement of a feature Mir does not have yet and we have not
discussed yet.

The road between raw touch events and high-level gestures is well
travelled, but I'm not yet sure how far along we want Mir to provide
such features. As demonstrated with synclient, it's something people
like to configure for themselves too.

If Mir provided the gesture conversion of a two finger click into a
right click then at some stage someone would probably ask for a way to
disable that feature and get the raw touch data instead.

  Right clicking on a touchpad device produces a regular (left) click

  Expected: 
  The right click should behave the same as on X11, doing the same as a RMB click.
