How to completely disable 3 finger tap by any means in libinput

cn flag
xcodz-dot

What I want is to be able to just disable 3 finger tap because I never use it and it also messes up what code I write. I use libinput and synclient is not an option. I also use X11 instead of Wayland. My goal is to completely disable it. I have been searching for 2 hours now, so finding a duplicate to my question is hard.

Neofetch returns this bit of info if needed

OS: Kubuntu 21.04 x86_64
Host: iBall CompBook Marvel6 V3
Kernel: 5.11.0-16-generic
Shell: Bash 5.1.4
DE: Plasma 5.22.4
WM: KWin

xinput list returns this (Ignore the mouse, I am here for the touchpad device):

⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ SYNA3602:00 0911:5288 Mouse               id=9    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ SYNA3602:00 0911:5288 Touchpad            id=10   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                         id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard               id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                 id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ USB 2.0 Web Camera: USB 2.0 Web           id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Intel HID events                          id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Intel HID 5 button array                  id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=13   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ F&D HW-110 (AVRCP)                        id=14   [slave  keyboard (3)]

Also note that this is a fresh install of Kubuntu

Before any solutions, I would like to notify that gnome-tweaks does not work for me.

It looks like I was not able to fix it. But in plasma 5.22 I found a setting named Input Devices -> Touchpad -> Taps -> Tap to Click -> Three Fingers. I set it to no action and everything works perfectly as I would have expected.

Here is a screenshot of the setting: Image of the Settings Menu

Looks like this option was eliminated in Kubuntu 22.04. You can swap what two- and three-finger taps do, but not disable them in KDE. This is a real problem for me because I often do them accidentally because I have problems with my right hand.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
