Press event not triggering

[mcarreira]

First of all, let me congratulate you for this excellent tool, you really made a good job in increasing the usability of Unix systems.

I'm using ElementaryOS 0.3 Freya and most shortcuts are working correctly. However, the "press" event is not firing. I've tried changing it for "long-press", but it doesn't fire this way either.

By the way, I should be tapping or pressing on the touchpad until it clicks? (this question is out of curiosity, since neither is working)

Thank you for reporting!

• "press" in eventKey.cfg is correct. (I'm using elementary OS freya, too)
• You just put your fingers on the touchpad in seconds, it should work. This is not click.

Hum... That's weird since all the other events are firing correctly... Do you thing the problem is on my touchpad?

Is there any log that I can check to try to figure what the problem is? I really wanted to use 3 and 4 fingers tap, so if you could help me I would be very grateful!

I'm using arch linux and I see that "press" binding doesn't work, I just keep three fingers on the touchpad without tapping. Any way to debug this?

Oh, I also realize that this doesn't let me use three finger tap that I normally use for middle click (button2)

Same problem here, press events doesn't work on Arch Linux.
Here the events triggered by 3 steady fingers on the touchpad:
