    I want to make it so one finger tap would be left click and two finger tap would be right click. Is this possible. If so, how would I go about doing this.

    Thank you.

    If you did this how would you double left click?

    I don't think the current Synaptics driver/software has this option. The closest thing I could find is 'Tap Zones'. You could set one of the corners of the touchpad to do the right-click when tapped.


    Same as always...tap twice. (Two finger tap is not the same as double tapping.)

    The actual touch pad supports it but as of yet we don't have drivers to fully take advantage of it.
