How to enable right-click on trackpad?

1

How do I enable right-click on my trackpad? I ran across this:DebuggingTouchpadDetection - Ubuntu Wiki

However, digging into that script shows that it’s using xinput, and the man page for xinput indicates that would be a mistake in Wayland (I’m running gnome on wayland).

In most instances, using xinput with an Xwayland device is indicative of a bug in a shell script and xinput will print a warning. Use the Wayland Compositor's native device configuration methods instead.

That script clearly won’t do anything good.

Turns out that a two-finger click triggers a right-click action.
