Look up dotfiles on GitHub - for example https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/main/.macos

Oh, my!

  # Trackpad: enable tap to click for this user and for the login screen

  # Trackpad: map bottom right corner to right-click

  # Disable “natural” (Lion-style) scrolling

Tap to click is an abomination. I have no love left for Apple, but their trackpads are orders of magnitude better than anyone else's in the industry.

Have you tried using the trackpad at its default settings? They actually make a ton of sense.

ha-ha imagine dragging things with two fingers PRESSED INTO TRACKPAD instead of beautiful (yet hidden deeply in settings) three-finger drag

this is old-lenovo-hacker style

I added a PR to fix rsync, mosh, and some other tools, since they will be broken out of the box.

But it seems this project has fallen behind on PRs.

If you would like to have this fix, you can do this after cloning the repo:

  git clone https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles && cd dotfiles

  git fetch origin "+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*" && git cherry-pick origin/pr/963
