I got a new [Dell Inspiron 7373][1] and everything is going fine, but I can't copy and paste files using the touchscreen because I can't send a "right click" action. In keyboard mode, I can do a two finger click on the touchpad to obtain the equivalent of a right-click, but my objective is to right-click using the touchscreen only.
Neither "touch-and-hold" or "short-tap + touch-and-hold" are working. Tested using xorg and wayland (as side note, gestures are smoother in wayland, but I can't drag and drop files).

In touchscreen mode, do a short-tap + touch-and-hold. Just keep touching the screen for 2 or 3 seconds and what is called "right menu" should appear. This is the normal way to emulate a right click on any touchscreen.

I know I can make a right click with the touchpad, I am talking about the touchscreen. I can set the laptop in tablet mode and work without the touchpad and keyboard, but I am not able to set a right click using the touchscreen

No luck, no either "touch-and-hold" or "short-tap + touch-and-hold" are working. Tested using xorg and wayland (as side note, gestures are smoother in wayland, but I can't drag and drop files)
