How do I disable “tap to click” (touchpad) on KDE5/plasma-based installations? (currently using KDE neon)

Question

I am looking at the System Settings => Input Devices => Touchpad but nothing jumps out.

On Ubuntu/Unity, it is obvious which setting to use when wanting to play around with "tap to click".

Thanks

To enable the touchpad tapping permanently , copy the 50-synaptics.conf file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d then edit it by adding Option "TapButton1" "1"

cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf

The /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf should be:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        Option "TapButton1" "1"
        Option "TapButton2" "3"

Reboot your system

in your case set TapButton1 to 0 to look like this

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        Option "TapButton1" "0"
