Making the Trackpad Behave Like Under MacOS

You can make the Mac trackpad to behave kindof like how it does under MacOS.

By default, “right click” or “secondary click” is registered by clicking the bottom-right corner of the trackpad. You can enable two-finger clicking by adjusting wsconsctl settings.

If you do not yet have a wsconsctl.conf file, you can copy the one from /etc/examples into /etc or of course you can create your own.

# cp /etc/examples/wsconsctl.conf /etc/

Add the following value:

# /etc/wsconsctl.conf
mouse.tp.mtbuttons=on

If you prefer “reverse scrolling”, also add:

# /etc/wsconsctl.conf
mouse.reverse_scrolling=on
