Accidental touches along the edges of a laptop touchpad

My laptop has a very large touchpad. While I’m typing, the edge of my left thumb sometimes touches the edge of the touchpad. If I then place two fingers from my right hand on the touchpad, it can accidentally trigger the three-finger drag gesture.

Could you add an option to set the maximum distance between the three touch points? In a “1+2” situation like this, where one touch point is far away from the other two, the three-finger drag gesture should not be triggered.

That’s agreat idea, and maybe a good complement with #73

Yes. With AI, this should be fairly easy to implement. The “1+2” and “1+3” cases are essentially the same type of problem:

Palm contact + two-finger scrolling is mistakenly recognized as a three-finger drag.
Palm contact + three-finger dragging is mistakenly recognized as a four-finger gesture. I’ve already implemented a basic version, and it works very well. I’m looking forward to your update.
