Breaking news: A self-proclaimed "tech visionary" brags about his brave odyssey of not touching a mouse in 14 years 🙄💻. Meanwhile, most of us are still trying to figure out how to enable three-finger drag without accidentally purchasing a timeshare in the Bahamas. 🎉🤦‍♂️

I haven't used a mouse for 14 years, and how to enable three fingers drag on macOS

I have been using a Mac since 2012, and since then I have not used an external mouse (I did buy an external trackpad, and also own an iMac with trackpad incl...

Este último eu acostumei a usar muitos anos atrás quando tinha um Mac, e por sorte, consigo ter no meu #Manjaro #XFCE instalando https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libinput-three-finger-drag #ThreeFingerDrag

Has anyone here found a way of getting a three-finger-drag on Manjaro? (like there is on MacOS) I couldn't make these work: https://github.com/marsqing/libinput-three-finger-drag

update2: I'm not sure it is advisable but I added myself to the input group with sudo gpasswd -a $USER input and added the executable to "Session and Startup > Application Autostart". And it seems to work!
