Please, you can enable this feature if you want it, and if your touchpad handles it well, then good for you. Tapping is a "feature", not a characteristic of touch pad use, and as such should be accessible to those who want it, but not enabled by default. Just my personal point of view. Regards, Les H
I agree with this. Unless your touchpad's buttons are broken (like mine, but that's beside the point), you can move around the system, no problem, and enable tap-to-click at will.
The question that comes with this is if the switch is easily accessible. In Gnome it is (albeit it has a funny label - 'Enable mouse clicks with touchpad' - what's wrong with 'Tap to click'?), but it appeared only recently in XFCE. I don't know about other environments which we ship, please submit your experience.
I don't expect much of a consensus to arise around this point, so I suggest we check if in the main environments, the tap-to-click setting is easily accessible and user-friendly. This state won't bother people who have problems with tap-to-click, and won't pose problems for people who want to have it on. I think that it's safe to assume that if the user installed Fedora successfully, they realize that to enable clicking with their touchpad, they need to go to Mouse/Touchpad settings and set it there in a checkbox.
