If you found the properties to set - I'd like to know. Not only do I not know the property names to set, but I also don't know how to reference them, particularly when they are nested.
It's curious how much ioio is promoted, with so few examples for its use. I appreciate that for its creator it's a useful tool - but to use it am I supposed to be a member of a secret society or a mason??

I finally figured it out. The properties are not in the Info.plist. I looked at IOReg and changed trackpad settings in preferences. I don't think the trackpad service has logging feature as the keyboard one. Anyways here are the commands

Code: 
ioio -s ApplePS2SynapticsTouchPad Clicking 1
ioio -s ApplePS2SynapticsTouchPad Dragging 1
ioio -s ApplePS2SynapticsTouchPad TrackpadRightClick 1
ioio -s ApplePS2SynapticsTouchPad DragLock 1

I created a script to run this and put in my LaunchDaemon. Works perfectly!

Thanks RehabMan for the awesome program.

All properties are listed in the source code in ApplePS2SynapticsTouchPad::setParamPropertiesGated...

Adding the properties to the info.plist doesn't seem to work.

Can you share your script for LaunchDeamon? In Terminal it works great.

You can paste those lines on a new file, name it tp.sh, for example.
chmod +x tp.sh < to add exec permissions
You can move it to /usr/bin, and then add a LaunchDaemon, using LaunchControl (you can download it for free to do that)

Is it possible just to change some defaults? I have almost successfully change that, the only thing that is not working on my W520 w Nvidia is the "two finger double tap" for secondary click.

Any idea how this could be enabled?
I've tried to enabled Secondary click with
defaults write com.apple.applemultitouchtrackpad enabledSecondaryClick -int 1
defaults -currentHost write NSGlobalDomain com.apple.trackpad.enableSecondaryClick -bool true

but it didn't help.




defaults read com.apple.applemultitouchtrackpad

{

ActuateDetents = 1;

Clicking = 1;

DragLock = 1;

Dragging = 1;

FirstClickThreshold = 1;

ForceSuppressed = 0;

SecondClickThreshold = 1;

TrackpadCornerSecondaryClick = 2;

TrackpadFiveFingerPinchGesture = 2;

TrackpadFourFingerHorizSwipeGesture = 2;

TrackpadFourFingerPinchGesture = 2;

TrackpadFourFingerVertSwipeGesture = 2;

TrackpadHandResting = 1;

TrackpadHorizScroll = 1;

TrackpadMomentumScroll = 1;

TrackpadPinch = 1;

TrackpadRightClick = 1;

TrackpadRotate = 1;

TrackpadScroll = 1;

TrackpadThreeFingerDrag = 0;

TrackpadThreeFingerHorizSwipeGesture = 2;

TrackpadThreeFingerTapGesture = 0;

TrackpadThreeFingerVertSwipeGesture = 2;

TrackpadTwoFingerDoubleTapGesture = 1;

TrackpadTwoFingerFromRightEdgeSwipeGesture = 3;

USBMouseStopsTrackpad = 0;

UserPreferences = 1;

version = 11;

}



My Commands for tap to click:

defaults read com.apple.applemultitouchtrackpad Clicking -int 1

defaults read com.apple.applemultitouchtrackpad DragLock -int 1

defaults read com.apple.applemultitouchtrackpad Dragging -int 1



Enable two finger tap for right click:



defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad TrackpadCornerSecondaryClick -int 2

defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad TrackpadRightClick -bool true

? defaults -currentHost write NSGlobalDomain com.apple.trackpad.trackpadCornerClickBehavior -int 1

defaults -currentHost write NSGlobalDomain com.apple.trackpad.enableSecondaryClick -bool true

defaults write com.apple.AppleMultitouchTrackpad TrackpadCornerSecondaryClick -int 2

defaults write com.apple.AppleMultitouchTrackpad TrackpadRightClick -bool true
 
Hello everyone. I think this is the best solution so far.
Rehab man, thanks for the hint.

I updated my trackpad.text as you can see below. My touch works great, after reboot.

Best to leave the kext Info.plist as-is and invoke ioio from a LaunchDaemon to set the settings you want.
Also, settings can be changed/overriden in an SSDT (see examples in my github).
