With X11 it's quite simple to change all possible trackpad options through a single text file with libinput e.g. cat > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf << EOF Section "InputClass" Identifier "Touchpad Settings" MatchDriver "libinput" MatchIsTouchpad "on" Option "NaturalScrolling" "true" Option "Tapping" "true" Option "TappingDrag" "true" Option "TappingDragLock" "true" EndSection EOF For a full listing of options: man libinput The same driver is used for wayland but I don't know how you configure it there, it will no doubt be possible to do something similar with a single text file config. I think the problem is that most UI tools like gnome settings do not expose the full range of possibilities because it's too much effort. [EDIT] Ouch, so i'm wrong, there is no equivalend in wayland. I know wayland has no concept of a display server but this really sucks for configurability [0]: > For Wayland, there is no libinput configuration file. The configurable options depend on the progress of your desktop environment's support for them; see #Graphical tools. This means there is no built in way to configure libinput without your DE/WM supporting it or other tools like libinput-config as the sibling comment points out.
