how can I disable tap to click on the elementary os? I've tried disabling it from the "Mouse & Touchpad" menu on Settings but it doesn't work.

If you have a Synaptics touchpad (which I believe is on most laptops), you can use synclient to modify these settings.
To install simply run sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.
In this case synclient TapButton1=0
should do the trick.
You can put this in your ~/.bashrc to make it permanent.
Refer to the man page for more options.

Synclient is not installed by default on my computer, should I install it? or is there an easier way? Dec 16, 2018 at 3:28
