Enable tap to click Kubuntu

After some additional searching I found the solution to my problem here

I had to add Option "Tapping" "True" to the entry MatchIsTouchpad in the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf. The exact name of the file might be different for other people.

In the end, the relevant section will look like something like this:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        Option "Tapping" "True"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

You need to be root to edit the file and reboot your system after the changes!

You can hit ALT+F2 and search for "Touchpad" under "System settings".

When you get to it, you'll need to set "Tap-to-click" option.

Additionally, you may want to set "Invert scroll direction (Natural scrolling)", which changes how your two finger scrolling works.

For both these options, you can hit "Apply" and see immediately if it suits you. Enjoy!
