How to perform a right-click when holding a left-click

Schnitzelklopfer · 13 September 2022 19:10

Hi,
I tried to set up a convertible Laptop and I want to perform a right-click when holding a left-click for long enough. I installed “evdev-right-click-emulation” through the chaotic-AUR and it showed up in the Garuda Assitent under the Settings tab. I enabled all options under Right Click Emulation. After a reboot i used the command:

LONG_CLICK_INTERVAL=500 LONG_CLICK_FUZZ=50 evdev-rce

The output was:

Found touch screen at /dev/input/event17: ELAN0511:00 04F3:303F Touchpad
Found touch screen at /dev/input/event11: ELAN Touchscreen
Found touch screen at /dev/input/event10: ELAN Touchscreen Stylus

Instead of performing a right-click it entered Edit Mode when used on desktop and it would be nice if somebody could tell me how to deactivate this feature. It also did not work in any application.

Welcome
Why don’t you post your garuda-inxi as required by the template?

Deinstall

I don't have a direct solution for you, but maybe you could pursue researching xinput and find something to help within. Posting xinput list results would be probably be good.

As SGS beat me to, always post your garuda-inxi

You could also try launching it with sudo, as suggested on upstream site.

If not working, maybe give a look at the issues there...

Deinstalling evdev-right-click-emulation wont solve the problem that i enter edit mode because it is a feature that is preconfigured in KDE and evdev-right-click-emulation just does nothing at all. And I did not find an option to add a delay to the right-click if i perform a left-click.

Check Settings -> Hardware -> Input Devices -> Touchpad. I don't have a touchpad, so I can't see what may be there.
Try turning off any mouse-related (accessibility) effects in Settings -> Workspace Behavior -> Desktop Effects?
Try altering repeat interval within Settings -> Accessibility -> Mouse Navigation

I'm not sure where else would be feasible to find related settings, since I'm led to believe they're there by this: libinput - ArchWiki
