`TrackpadRightClick` gets reset after darwin-rebuild switch

Open Pape45 opened this issue 6 months ago • 3 comments

The TrackpadRightClick = true setting in system.defaults.trackpad gets reset to Click or tap with two fingers after every darwin-rebuild switch operation, despite being explicitly set to true in the configuration. This requires manual reconfiguration each time.

This is the configuration i use :

system.defaults = {
  trackpad = {
    Clicking = true;
    TrackpadRightClick = true;
    TrackpadThreeFingerDrag = false;
    TrackpadThreeFingerTapGesture = 0;
  };
};

This has been happening since the last Nix update (https://github.com/nix-darwin/nix-darwin/pull/1341), which requires us to run darwin-rebuild as root.

Clicking = true; too.

Yeah this is a pain however I did notice logging out and logging back works (not fix though)

Yes, I noticed that too @hd719. But since it happened again after a darwin-rebuild, and I don't log out or reboot often, it's not a viable solution for me!
