Hyprland Trackpad Tips & Tricks
For first time in my life I bought a PC notebook. I didn’t even consider to boot in the pre-installed Windows 11 and installed Omarchy right away.
The HP ZBook has a quite good trackpad, even compared to MacBooks, but some things seemed off. No right-click with two fingers, instead it would only work in the lower right corner. And I absolutely hate tapping, I want real clicks.
Turns out, it’s not the hardware. It’s all configurable in Hyprland. In Omarchy you can find the settings in .config/hypr/input
, sub-category input:touchpad
.
Here are some handy options to tweak the settings:
input {
touchpad {
# Enable two-finger clicks for right-clicking
clickfinger_behaviour = true
# Disable tapping
tap-to-click = false
# Enable natural scrolling
natural_scroll = true
# Disable the trackpad while typing (accidental tapping etc.)
disable_while_typing = true
}
}
There is even more like tapping maps, middle button emulation etc. – you can find all options here.
