Two fingers tap right-click (ALPS, Yoga 500) - here's how...

Hello

I just wanted to share and in which case I need information later it's nice to be able to find it on the internet if I forgot.

I bought a Yoga 500 14 - IBD (born to Win10 - not upgraded) as is was on sale and I thought why not I need a second machine. It's actually a very nice machine and the Pentium seems much better in daily chores that I imagined (but her as Atom - like execution but in fact it's more like just below i3)

However not everything is rosy red. Like the 900 and probably many other laptops of Lenovo, he got a very annoying problem. NO TAP TWO fingers FOR a RIGHT CLICK ! Argh! Beyond me a deemed manufacturer manage to get two bad finger tap!

The Yoga of 500 I got is like the low end version of the 500 (although it got FHD IPS) and that's probably why they put in a touchpad ALPS while my 900 has got a Synaptics.

I have not found any information about to enable two finger tap, right-click on ALPS touchpads on the internet so I messed up a little round in regedit (I'm confident enough so has not been worried, worst restore values) thought why not share.

1. open regedit

2 Goto - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Apls\Apoint\Gesture

3. change the value of 2TapShow to 1

4. change the value 2TapSupport to 1

5. modify 2TapSetting value set at 13 decimal hex d

6. do the same for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Alps\Apoint\Gesture

7 restart the machine

Step 5 is optional. You are now in the control panel of the ALPS under multi finger set what you want two finger tap to do! Most likely, you want to have in the context menu, but there are also other options if you care right click.

This information is for Windows 10 ALPS driver v8.201.1611.252 so things are not exactly the same on your laptop and of course the use of information is at your own risk. Messing around in regedit can make operating system unusable if you make a mistake!

- ENJOY YOUR 'NEW' TOUCHPAD! --

Also while adjusting your touchpad settings you can adjust the speed. Diffinately scroll speed to the maximum and sensitivity to the max as well. ALPS seems to jerk and get the fantom clicks if you're the type who just slightly touching the touchpad. Affecting sensicity max and the touchpad features very well no involuntary jerkyness and click.

Sorry for a minor error!

I was writing this in my OneNote and discovered an error.

Point 5 is 2TapFunc NOT setting (!) However, this doesn't mean probably much - only that you should open the ALPS Control Panel to then hit the function instead of working just after regedit and restart both with the fingers together.

Sorry for inconvinience but the forum does not allow me to edit a post efter sometime!

  • U31-70 Alps touchpad - how to allow two-finger tap "right-click"?

    Hello

    I have a problem with the Alps touchpad in the U31. I would like to bring up the contextual (right click menu) with a tap two fingers on the touchpad, but everything simply, nothing happens. In the options 2 finger Alps touchpad click fires and the small sample animation clearly shows how a tap two fingers works as a right click.

    I'm pritty sure this is a software / driver issue, but I have installed v8.201.1611.250 and no new version seems to be available.

    Anyone else had this problem or knows how to solve?

    Hey spidey101,

    Thanks for your help! Remove and reinstall the drivers of the ALPS do not solve my problem, so I kept on looking and fortunately found a solution in this post:

    https://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Y50-70-Alps-touchpad-add-2-and...

    In the registry settings, I changed the following parameters:

    "HKEY_CURRENT_USER > software > Alps > Apoint > Guesture.

    "2TapSupport" = dword:00000003
    "Enable2Tap" = DWORD: 00000001
    '2TapFunc' = dword:0000000 d
    "2TapSetting" = dword:000000ff
    "2TapShow" = dword:00000009

    !!! And I had to make the same changes in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > software > Alps > Apoint > Guesture ' in the work of tap to '2 fingers as a right-click' on my U31-70.

    Best regards

    Hi again.

    I can configure the clickpad so that water from the tap emulates the middle two fingers (or the mouse wheel) click instead of right-clicking.

    I can't find it among the properties of the clickpad.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    The touchpad Synaptics are in
    Control Panel? mouse? last tab device settings? Settings button-

    (the name of the tab, button could be different)

    If the option isn't available in the Synaptics settings, then the option isn't supported

    You always use the same profile folder you used with the Nightly build (35.0a1)?

    If you do, then you must create a new profile.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

    With the decommissioning of a Nightly build might be unstable, you should be still more restrictive with what to retrieve.

  • Two fingers for secondary click tab does not work

    I had to create a new user profile, because in my old profile all the apple connected apps crashed when opening.

    My new user profile doesn't have this problem, but another: tab 2 fingers for secondary click does not work, even if it is selected in the trackpad options (System Preferences).

    I tried the usual off click / click back on, restart the computer, etc.. No change.

    Instead of secondary click, two fingers tab activates the scroll bar. I already disabled options scroll with two fingers, hoping that the problem would be a sort of interference, but again, no luck.

    Any ideas?

    I found my own solution and decided to publish it for anyone having a similar problem:

    When I activated the option "Ignore the trackpad when a mouse is connected" two-finger-click started working.

    I can't explain why (I do not use a mouse, so it shouldn't make a difference), but who cares, it works now.

  • Two finger Tap ALPS touchpad Flex 2 15

Or is - this just pure ignorance of Lenovo? This is one of those very small seemingly insignificant things that have a huge impact on the user experience... (!)

  • Portege Z30 - A - 18 M - unavailable two-finger tap

    Hello

    I just bought the Z30 - A - 18 M and (of course) love it! The only thing that bothers me it is the inability to tap with two fingers to right click and click on three fingers for a midfielder. I saw some people describe the two fingers tap and two fingers click options in the settings of the touchpad, but I only have the click of two fingers.

    In addition, I would be grateful if I could assign click Middle three finger tap/click, rather than see the desktop.

    Not the 2/3-finger tap disappears in the latest alps driver or there is something wrong with my setup?

    I am operating windows 7.

    I spoke with the technology, but they attend the fresh wtihout and they refer user manual only back.
    I also downloaded updated bios on their recommendation without success/change.

    Under MOUSE settings I select: properties for synaptics click pad - and then in detailed settings.
    I have a tab of TAPPING that I select, and then a pop-up box and screen with "ENABLE TAPPING" next to the white box. the text and explanation indicates tick or mark this box will allow eavesdropping. To leave empty so should delete function "tapping."

    It does not work. When I look at the icons hidden on the Ribbon at the bottom of the computer - each time after I closed it restored the service TAP to CLICK.

    Does anyone know how to solve this problem. I apologize in advance for my lack of computer savvy, but I also note that the user manuals do not seem to solve this problem and it is not aid of telephone technical support. ?

  • Windows Media Player 11 - right click "Add/enqueue" option missing - cannot load the contents of the folder

    Hello

    Windows Media Player 11.0.6002.18005 for my Vista 64-bit system worked very well for me.  I could right click on any folder containing my Mp3 files and select 'Add to the reader' or 'enqueue' and it would then open and read my files that are in the folder.

    However, for some reason this right click on the option is now missing from my right click menu.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you!

    Alright!

    It's a simple solution... I had apparently made a universal change to display the parameters of the files from my Vista, and it removed the 'Music Details' option in the combo box with area to "Customize" options files in the properties...

    I just changed the "Music Details" option for the kind of file, I want it to be... and voila!  .. "Add to Windows Media Player play list" and "Play with Windows Media Player" options are available again for me via a right-click on these files.
