Accidental dragging via Touchpad

Hi all,

I’m a happy UHK60v2+trackball module user since 2021, but I’ve been trying out the touchpad module the last couple of weeks and, while I managed to get used to most of the differences by now, one thing I am still struggling a lot with is the “double-tap to drag” gesture, and I don’t see any way to configure it in the agent or via macros (at least not directly).

Basically, I trigger the drag gesture by accident very very often while moving the mouse around, especially when doing finer movements mixed with clicking (taps), where just after a regular click, when I try to move somewhere else, the drag gesture starts and I start randomly selecting text or moving files/etc around.

So, the questions are:

  • Are there options to fine-tune the drag gesture so that I trigger it less often? Like for example, reducing the time between taps for the double tap to be registered as such?
  • If no such fine-tuning option exist, is there at least a way to disable the gesture entirely? I could still do the drag by using an actual click button (e.g., the button in the frame of the left side).

PS: Sorry if the question was already answered elsewhere, I could not find anything about this via the search.

Hi Michel,

Thanks for elaborating on this! It’d make sense to add an option to enable/disable double-tap-to-drag. Please open a new firmware issue.
