[SOLVED] How to turn off touchpad click

Hey, how do I turn off the touchpad click with xf86-input-synaptics (synclient).

I have managed to turn off the touchpad "tap to click" with this command:

synclient MaxTapTime=0

However, I want the reverse effect: to leave the "tap to click", and turn off the "click to click".

This is in order for me to learn to use touchpad only by tapping for left mouse click (and tapping with two fingers for right mouse click),
and break the habit of clicking to click, since it makes sounds and makes other people around me nervous in a caffee

The Libinput Gestures section might help.
