Thank you for helping me figure out what the frack was wrong with my touchpad. I have now disabled tap-click and am no longer loosing text or find my cursor in a weird spot in the text I'm typing.
 
I love Tap Click.

People who hate it should buy a better computer or reduce their Ketamine intake.:p
 
I always call the eraser thingy a clit, as I can never find the damn thing .
I'm unsurprised to find others use the same term.

What I'm still waiting to learn is WHAT THE SMEG IS "TAP_CLICK"?

On a touchpad, you can set it so that when you tap the pad, it acts the same as if you had left clicked the button. If it's too sensitive, you get a lot of inadvertent clicks.
 
Some have the "clit" that is sensitive to small manipulations and can be tapped to generate a click. Others have a large area that is sensitive to touch which can also be tapped to generate a click. Some even have both.
 
You can tap the clit? When I last used one (which admittedly was quite a while ago), it just controlled movement, and you actually had to use the buttons at the bottom of the keyboard to click.

It depends on the brand. My old Toshiba had no tap option, but my 2002-vintage Dell does. Actually it was more like a press than a tap, and hard to regulate.

Fair enough. I realised that the last time I used a clit mouse was in 1995, on an IBM Thinkpad, so I'm not surprised that the technology has changed a little.

Why are users so utterly selfish? How come no one has thought to ask the laptop which one it prefers you to use?

I'd guess you're not a touch-typist, if it's hard to find.

I certainly miss having one when I use a laptop without.
