But touchpads are so gosh darn garbage as a human input device.
I have a strong preference for touchpads, but only when set up with tap-to-click and 3-finger dragging (which always requires digging in the preferences to find, but is worth it). I find other touchpad setups annoying to use. The push-harder-to-click (and especially to drag) default reduces speed and accuracy.
I mention this because I am forever hopeful that someday I will introduce this arrangement to someone else who otherwise hates touchpads and they will have the joy of discovering that they have simply been missing out on this setup for years.
Your setup is really the bare minimum I require to use a touchpad, but that baseline is still garbage for me, sadly. A mouse is just so much more accurate, and can cover so much more screen real estate in a shorter amount of time and still be more accurate to the click target.
Of course, if I can do the same thing without moving my hand from the keyboard, I prefer that over anything else. 🤲⌨️
I appreciate you taking the time to give me those tips and hints though. Love you, buddy. 🫶

Perhaps you are that person, perhaps not.
