disable trackpad right click

Hi,


I've always had right click disabled (like to be able use the whole trackpad) and been used to use ctrl+click instead.


Now with MacOS Sierra I no longer am able to do this, also I'm not able to disable the trackpad when I use an eternal mouse (magic mouse) ...


Is MacOS Sierra broken ??

So here is the wierd thing, I used defaults write to disable it (defaults write com.apple.AppleMultitouchTrackpad enableSecondaryClick -bool NO) which did not work.


So in System Preferences > Trackpad > Point & Click I disabled "Tap to Click" which only let you "click" to click, then enabled it again, and now it works....


Something in 10.12 is not really working that great ....
