I have a ThinkPad X1 Carbon gen 3 (2015) running Windows 10 with the Synaptics drivers. Thank you for the info on Linux and Windows. Will make sure to enable the acceleration on the laptop.

About the 3-finger drag-and-drop - it used to be on by default. Now you have to enable it manually since 3-finger swipes are bound to Mission Control and Expose. Once you enable it, Mission Control and Expose will be bound to 4-finger swipes. To enable it:

- Go to Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control > Trackpad Options...

- tick the box 'Enable dragging'

- select 'three finger drag'

Demo:

You don't need to worry about running out of space when dragging with 3 fingers - once you start dragging with 3 fingers, you can leave 2 fingers on the trackpad and keep dragging with your 3rd finger.

Whaaaa? I'm going to have to try this, thanks!
