    Hello,
    Is it possible to configure one finger scrolling on new Thinkpads (like the edge line on old Thinkpads).
    Using an old R500 I can't stand the thought of extending two fingers every time I want to scroll and I am looking into T450s, T550 etc. and can't figure this out.
    Also, how is the clicking on these Touchpads? Is it possible to set a dedicated right click area (other then the button on top)? I can't understand why do I HAVE to use two fingers to do what I could previously do perfectly with just one...

    Thanks

    You can configure edge scrolling on the newer Thinkpads, although I think it's disabled by default. You can configure circular scroll as well, which also works well.

    There is a right click section available on the touchpad. I believe there are two settings for it in terms if size, and it's on the lower right. Personally I find it easier to use the click pad for left click and the top trackpoint button for right click--but it's there if you want it.
