Also keep in mind that it's possible to have global config files in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/` I have one such file there myself that I made to work around the lack of this feature being implemented yet: $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-libinput.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall" MatchIsTouchpad "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "libinput" Option "ClickMethod" "clickfinger" # other option is "buttonareas" Option "DisableWhileTyping" "false" Option "AccelSpeed" "0.2" #Option "MiddleEmulation" "true" # Only use this with the "buttonareas" clickmethod EndSection Others may have similar settings. If possible, it might be nice to read these config files to determine the default option state in the KCM. Then once the user modifies anything, a new user-specific config file gets written that takes priority.
