    Synaptics Touchpad Two-Finger Tap

    Recieved my XPS 15 a week ago and it is great, but one thing that would be particularly helpful is the ability to two-finger tap the touchpad to perform a 'middle click' action. This would be incredibly helpful in Google chrome as then I could open links in a new tab without having to use keyboard shorcuts or physical buttons.

    I tried creating a tap zone for middle click, but I found it interfered with my scrolling too much.

    After some searching (all I could find were linux fixes) I haven't been able to shed any light on the subject. Does anyone know of a solution (either Synaptics or 3rd party program or chrome plugin) that would allow this?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
