[SOLVED]Kde/Plasma5 touchpad enable tap-to-click
Hey guys, I'm running Arch on my MBP.
Everything runs smoothly except that I couldn't find tap-to-click in TouchPad settings. Now I have to press the touchpad down and it's not convenient that much.
I know Kde supported this function when it's kde4. And I'm using the latest plasma desktop now(which is 5.8.2).
Any ideas or it's a known missing feature and will be added soon?

Enable it in a xorg.conf? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/To … ed_options

Also check libinput if you are not using Synaptics: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libinput

Not sure what you're looking for exactly, but even with libinput, once you enable mouse click emulation, tap to click works with default settings.

It's where things get weird. The Mouse-Click-Emulation has no checkbox.

Since mcloaked suggested maybe something wrong with libinput. I found this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=213795
Uninstall xf86-input-synaptics works for me.
thanks guys.

Yes both packages shouldn't be installed simultaneously - i.e. unintalling xf86-input-synaptics and installing xf86-input-libinput is the way to go.
