Description
I have an HP Spectre x360 (Kaby Lake) running Fedora 25 with wayland and libinput. The machine has a really wide touchpad, and I find myself constantly hitting the virtual middle-click button at the bottom of the pad by accident, with irritating and often destructive results (text selection replaced with clipboard contents, closed the tab I meant to switch to, etc).
I filed a bug on libinput (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98808) and the maintainer Peter Hutterer says that the interface itself exposes the ability to enable or touchpad disable middle-click emulation, but it's up to clients to display it to users. So, as a GNOME user, I humbly request a setting to disable the virtual middle-click touchpad button. You could even put it in GNOME Tweak Tool or the dconf editor, I don't care, but please expose this setting somewhere before it drives me completely insane!
