Two-finger-tap right-clicking as shown above is currently already contained in the default configuration file that comes with touchegg. To configure a two-finger-tap right-click, you can use this config file for ~/.config/touchegg/nf: Configuration for emulating a right-click touchegg-gce works, but you have to manually restart touchegg after saving changes to its configuration file, again by executing: killall touchegg toucheggģ. Alternatively, you can install the GUI touchegg-gce as described here. However, it is not part of the touchegg Ubuntu package. touchegg has a nice configuration GUI called touchegg-gui, which is seen here. To make the changes effective, execute the following in a terminal or via the Alt + F2 run dialog: killall touchegg toucheggĬonfiguration with a GUI. You can configure touchegg in two alternative ways:Ĭonfiguration with a config file. To make touchegg start automatically for each LXQt session, simply add it to Autostart (LXQt menu → Preferences → LXQt Settings → Session settings → Autostart).

When executing it in a terminal you can check from its output if it detects your multitouch gestures correctly. Touchegg is available in the Ubuntu 18.10 repositories, so you can install it simply like this: sudo apt install touchegg I tried this under Lubuntu 18.10 and it works. If you have a touchscreen that supports at least two-finger multi-touch input, you can install touchegg and configure it to interpret (for example) a two-finger tap as a right-click.

Out of my answers to this question, this is my personal favourite.
