# This enables tapping, like tap-to-click, on laptops.
# The touchpad ID changes between reboots sometimes.
# So does the property ID for tapping.
#
# We need the property "Tapping Enabled".
# Available properties viewable with:
#       xinput list-props $TOUCHPAD_ID
#
# Requires:
#       xinput, libinput
