It's up to a evdev device backend to configure seat capabilities it
supports. Even though it may be possible for a touchpad to have extra
keys, there is currently no support for sending keyboard events from the
touchpad driver, and if that would be implemented, it'd be a detail of
the touchpad driver, not the generic evdev device part.

We had reports that the top software button area is hard to hit for those
using the trackpoint and clicking the buttons with their thumb.
Analysis of event recordings (3 different people) for left, right and middle
clicks shows that there is a significant amount of events up to about 10mm
(with outliers up to 12mm) from the top of the touchpad. That maps to 15%.
Interestingly, the middle button is not affected by this, presumably the
haptic feedback of the little dots sticking out from the surface make hitting
the button easier.

With tablets that don't support serial numbers, we can't guarantee that the tool
objects are unique. Because of this, this can give clients the false impression
that a tool without a serial number is being shared between tablets when it very
well might not be. So we keep tools without serial numbers in a list that's
local to the tablet they belong to, and keep tools with serials in a list that's
global within the libinput context.

On small touchpads, a touch that intends to go across the width of the
touchpad is likely to start in the edge zone. Likewise, on those touchpads the
chances of a palm event happening on the edge is small.
A minimum width of 8cm determined by an elaborate process of completely
unscientific guesswork: the x220 is roughly 7.5cm across and doesn't suffer
much from edge events, the T440s is 10cm across and definitely suffers from
it. So the trigger width likely somewhere in between which makes 8cm about as
valid as any other guess.
Note that this disables palm detection for resolution-less touchpads too - if
we don't know how big the touchpad is we can't know if palm detection on the
edges is necessary.

The resolution-based scaling may result in deltas of 0. The accel code doesn't

code just isn't designed for it.
Most notably, events with delta 0/0 have no direction. That messes up the
history-based velocity calculation which stops whenever the current vector's
direction changes from the one in the trackers.

I doubt this does what we think it does. It doesn't soften the delta changes,
rather it introduces bumps in the smooth processing of the changes.
abs(delta) below 1.0 is untouched, and abs(delta) beyond 3 or 4 isn't
noticable much. But in the slow range around the 1/-1 mark there is a bump.
For example, if our last_delta is 1.0 and delta is 1.1, the "softened"
delta is set to 0.6. That is stored as last delta, so an input sequence of:
0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.0, 0.8, 1.1
results in "softened" deltas that don't match the input:
0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 0.6, 0.7, 1.0, 0.8, 0.6
A better approach at smoothing this out would be to calculate the softened as:
current = current ± diff(last, current) * 0.5
or even weighted towards the new delta
current = current ± diff(last, current) * 0.25
In tests, this makes little difference. Dropping this function altogether is
sufficient to make the pointer pointer behave slightly better at low speeds
though the increase is small enough to attribute to confirmation bias.

The current 20% is excessive. On the t440s, the button size amounts to ~14mm
from the bottom. On the x220 it amounts to ~9mm, leaving only 31mm as actual
touchpad.
Reduce it to 15% instead, which amounts to 10.5mm on the t440 and 6mm on the
x220. Cap the button height further by making buttons a maximum height of
10mm, anything larger than that is excessive anyway.
Smaller buttons should be acceptable since we can rely on the bottom edge to
be a haptic feedback and thus a good hit-target, somewhat simliar to how
screen edges are good hit-targets.
The top software buttons stay the same size, but prefer a physical size of 6mm
instead (which is 1mm below the button marker line on the T440s). If no y
resolution is available, fall back to the 8% which is 5.6mm on the T440s.
