Tap to Click on Trackpad

Enable tap-to-click on the trackpad so you can tap instead of pressing down to click.

Scope: system

macOS disables tap-to-click by default, requiring a physical press on the trackpad. Enabling this setting lets you tap lightly to click, which is faster and more comfortable for extended use.

This applies to both the built-in trackpad and Bluetooth trackpads.
