Yes i tried the first command and now i have the possibility to do both.
Either do a right-click on the bottom right part of the touchpad like i
know it from widnows or do a two-fingers tap anywhere.

I did a reboot then and tried the second command and it seems its doing the
same like the first command so both commands seems to revert the changes.
