Quick PSA: We're disabling Tap-to-click by default on Fedora Asahi Remix with KDE Plasma.

Most macOS users are used to using Press-to-click, and in fact this is also the libinput default for Apple trackpads. However, KDE overrides the default to enable Tap-to-click.

While some users might be used to this mode from e.g. other laptop manufacturers, it causes usability issues since Press-to-click continues to work. Users using Press-to-click are often unaware that Tap-to-click is also enabled, and then experience unintended clicks as a result. By changing the default, we can make sure that only users who consciously enable Tap-to-click have it enabled.

This change retroactively affects users that have *not* modified the Tap-to-click setting in the KDE System Settings, and will be applied on the next login after a system update. If you wish to re-enable Tap-to-click, you can visit the Touchpad page in the System Settings app and do so there. After the setting is changed once, any future changes to the default value will no longer affect it.
