qenghoHowdy. I have a trackpad on my laptop. It doesn't have physical mouse buttons, but has an area at the bottom defined as "Soft Mouse Buttons". Great. Two fingers on the trackpad makes any movement into a scroll action.03:05
qenghoThat is fine in most cases.  But, I like to rest my finger on the area of the pad that is the button area.03:06
qenghoThat means I can't move the pointer by using my other finger or hand to move the pointer. That's two fingers on the trackpad, so one finger on the button area and one moving around up high is interpreted as a scroll action.03:07
qenghoCan I make the finger in the button area never trigger a scroll action?03:08
qenghoI'm comfortable with xinput set-property.03:08
