Enable middle click with 3 finger click on synaptics touchpad
I have a dell xps 15 9530 with a synaptics touchpad running windows 10
I used to have another dell where I could 3 finger click and trigger a middle click. I've tried a few registry tweaks, but I can't seem to get it to work. I've got 3 finger tap working, but multi finger taps are really finicky and only work around 80% of the time.
Does anybody know the proper registry edits?

If you're willing to use a 3rd party software, this might be useful.

Thanks for the link. It's super weird because I literally just read that thread a few hours before you posted this comment. For some reason autohotkey didn't work for me. I created another post on reddit with no luck. But I did figure it out yesterday after tinkering with the registry for a while. Thanks

After trying for a long time, I finally got it working exactly how I want it to.
I'm still on my XPS 15, running Windows 10 AU.
Essentially what I did was go through the registry and update all values of 3FingerPressButtonAction, 3FingerPressPlugInActionID, 3FClickAction, and MiddleButtonAction
I'm not 100% sure if all the changes are necessary, but I know that each one individually won't do the trick.
