Use Ctrl + touchpad tap for right click

My touchpad buttons are worn out, so I always use touchpad tap for left click. I want to be able to emulate right click using the touchpad, like using Ctrl + touchpad tap.

I don't know how to do it and I've already read this article: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics

Re: Use Ctrl + touchpad tap for right click

I'm not sure whether that's possible at all, but pretty sure that it's a bad idea.
Either you kill ctrl+rmb or you'll always have the ctrl modifier on rmb clicks - sounds nasty.

Did you see the section about RBCornerButton and softbuttons which will allow you to define a region on the pad (eg. the lower right corner) to fire a rmb event?
