Drag clicking

  • By default, drag clicking will not work on Linux - it is set to ignore multiple successive fast clicks (similar to high debounce time).
  • To fix this:
    • Create the configuration folder for libinput, which handles mouse input: sudo mkdir -p /etc/libinput.
    • Create a config file in this folder: sudo touch /etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks.
    • Open this file in a text editor: sudo nano /etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks.
    • Paste the following content and save the file:
[Never Debounce]
MatchUdevType=mouse
ModelBouncingKeys=1
  • Finally, restart your system to bring the new config into effect.
