    Aha ... the right click touchpad control. I am so pleased you pointed that out.

    You know, even without the two finger pinch thingie, the touchpad has a lot of cool features going for it, even under Linux. What I've managed to accumulate so far: (Please add if you can)

    1. touch and slide ... move the curser. (duh)

    2. touch and release (tap) ... single left mouse clock

    3. touch and slide, right hand side : vertical scroll

    4. touch and slide, top : horizontal scroll

    5. tap and touch : left mouse button held down (drag)

    6. tap-tap : left mouse button double click

    and finally, thanks to the above

    7. tap bottom right corner : right mouse button click

    8. [tap top right corder : middle mouse button click] well, I'll take your word for it since I dont have anything obvious to confirm it with.


    I can say that as far as I can tell muti-touch is not enabled under Limpus. With all the basic mouse functions accounted for however, it means you never have to use the side buttons if you prefer not to.

    With Firefox, middle clicking a link opens it in a new tab. Firefox preferences controls if that tab is opened but not switched to (default) or opened and immediately switched to.

    7 and 8 are tap zones. You can configure all 4 corners to specific function. Right and middle buttons among others. :). Cool stuff, because the buttons are quite annoying to use, I often can't find where touchpad surface ends, and where button begins. And that plastic surface alongside the buttons is especially annoying...

    Top Right: Middle mouse click
    Bottom Right: Right mouse click
