A way to disable the long-left mouse click shortcut to enter "Edit Mode" / modifying widgets?

[Koeame]

Hi,

Yes. It just happens when I hold left-click (which is also my pen click)
for one second and it thinks I want to modify widgets based on that (thus
being, Edit Mode). Krita was only pointed as an example for an app I use
alongside, the Long-click is indiscriminate to any program and it still
happens anytime I happen to press for one second. It's also indiscriminate
whichever distro I use with KDE as its DE. I'll take a look at using xev
and synclient and learning how to use it.

Also, if I may ask, why would the Edit Mode long-click be a hardcoded
gesture that I cannot enable or disable if I can just right click and Enter
Edit Mode that way, or Alt + D for my keyboard shortcut?
