Thanks for the detailed explanation, Nate. The part that bothers me is that
the UI calls this "Right-click" settings and makes absolutely no reference to
this affecting "middle-click". So when I searched for settings regarding
"middle-click", this didn't turn up. And when I read the text for this
setting, it didn't seem to apply to my situation.
I think my summary made my concern less clear in my original report. Let me
clarify. The problem I am reporting here is:
"Right-click" setting SECRETLY affects middle-click.
That is, there is no suggestion to the User that this setting affects middle
clicks at all.
I appreciate that UX is hard and that it would be terrible to change this
setting to "Enable Libinput areas mode", for example. I am suggesting it needs
something in-between these extremes.
Here's a suggestion:
> Middle-click and Right-click settings:
> ( ) press bottom-middle edge / bottom-right corner
> ( ) press anywhere with three fingers (middle) or two fingers (right)
But I don't like that much, either. I was hoping a KDE UX dev might have some
better ideas.
Another option:
> Right-click settings:
> ( ) press bottom-right corner for right click (bottom-center for middle
> click)
> ( ) press anywhere with two fingers (for middle click use three fingers)
Even a hover-tip with some elucidation would be nice, or a small info box near
the setting that changes to describe the setting whenever it is changed.
