How do I disable Touchpad corner functionalities? (e.g. copy, paste, context, right-click)
Using my touchpad on my Unity desktop I have discovered the following:
Tapping the corners of the touchpad results in:
- Top-right corner: Paste command.
- Top-left corner: Copy command.
- Bottom-right corner: Right-click or Context Menu commands.
Obviously, it's intentional however there must be settings to change these. I've looked through Settings->Mouse & Compiz Settings Manager
but failed to find anything.
How do I disable these triggers?
In terminal, type: synclient RTCornerButton=0
. This solved the problem on me.
Execute synclient -l
to list all configurations.
Any changes you make with synclient are lost after reboot. To make the solution posted by Cyron permanent, paste the synclient command(s) to a shell script and add the shell script to your Startup Applications in Unity.
Note that the script has to start with #!/bin/bash
, and that you may change permissions to executable to work properly.
