06:02 <roiz> so i'm just getting started with wayland and river, coming from x and bspwm. thanks for making a similar window manager.

06:02 <roiz> i'm experiencing an odd issue. i use a laptop, and when actually _clicking_ the touchpad in order to send a mouse click, it sometimes behaves as expected, but at other times, seems like it isn't registering, or more likely doing what it does fairly often: pasting from some clipboard registry that appears to align with text i've selected. this is

06:02 <roiz> really odd, regularly impedes my workflow, and the only reason i'm thinking river is at fault is because it crosses application boundaries. this doesn't occur when i tap-to-click, only when physically clicking the touchpad.

06:02 <roiz> has anybody seen something remotely similar to this,or have any thoughts on what i should be debugging here?

06:35 <leon-p> roiz: middle clicking pastes selection

06:36 <leon-p> maybe your touchpad is configured to middle click, either by tapping in the center bottom or by tapping with three fingers

15:14 <roiz> leon-p: _tap_ functionality actually works as expected

15:14 <roiz> i just found my issue, though

15:14 <roiz> apparently my touchpad has three different button/regions for physical clicks that left, middle, and right click

15:15 <roiz> and for the past two years that i've had this machine running under arch, i've never noticed that, probably because x was somehow treating all three as a left click

15:16 <roiz> when i physically press to click (not tap), i'm usually pressing around the bottom left/center out of habit. i guess i'm hitting the bottom center too often.

15:16 <LarstiQ> that might be configurable?

15:17 <roiz> yeah i'm looking into it now

15:18 <LarstiQ> riverctl mentions `tap-button-map` and `middle-emulation`, not sure if that is related enough

15:23 <roiz> you have it backwards

15:23 <roiz> _tapping_ works fine

15:23 <roiz> it's the physical presses that i want to reconfigure

15:23 <roiz> at the bottom of the trackpad

15:24 <roiz> the actual "buttons" (i have a single layer touchpad/trackpad with hidden buttons, you know, how most modern manufacturers are doing touchpads)

15:40 <roiz> maybe i'm crazy and never physically clicked under arch. /shrug

15:40 <roiz> er, under x

15:55 <roiz> hmm

15:55 <roiz> so for libinput under x11, i had `Option "ClickMethod" "clickfinger"`

15:58 <roiz> yeah, okay, that's what makes my touchpad act as i expect (basically, the physical buttons are ignored and the whole touchpad is treated as a touch interface)

15:58 <roiz> setting `riverctl input <name> click-method clickfinger` solves my issue

20:41 <ifreund> glad you got it sorted out :)
