Tune thouchpad for Linux Mint

Touchpad in linux works quite good actually, but there are still different from windows. I'm used to tap three fingers for right click, and two fingers for middle click. However, in default, right click is tapping three fingers and nothing for middle click.

The simplest way, which found on the google, is to create a script:
synclient TapButton2=2
synclient TapButton3=3
Save it and run it every time start up desktop.

Or you can modify/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf:
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "touchpad catchall"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "synaptics"
    Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
    Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
    Option "CircularScrolling" "off"
    Option "CricularTrigger" "0"
    Option "TapButton1" "1"
    Option "TapButton2" "2"
    Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection


 I'm lazy to do that.
