    Sanity is restored.

    Love KDE, and good to see them chipping away at these pain points.

      Nah, it’s a bad default taught by Windows users on crap touchpads. Proper clickpads are vastly superior.

        you may be surprised to know that crap touch-pads are the majority of touchpads and even moreso in the future since old thinkpads are slowly going away

            Some of those are still terrible. Compare any of them to my 2011 macbook and they will loose badly

            My apologies, it seems we do not have the same definition of proper touchpads, of all the laptop brands in the world, asus and hp are amongst the few that I would consider unsuitable including their touchpads which are the most basic low grade pads i can think of, maybe their more than a grand models are better
