Using huge trackpad on macbook pro 16 is problematic.

My palm of another hand constantly touches the upper left corner (sometimes on the bottom right corner too).
I think it is very common case for macbook pro 16 users.

Given this arrangement of hands and the ergonomic trackpad, there are problems:

  1. One or two fingers click somewhere in the center of trackpad recognizes as middle click, but it's not what was intended.
  2. Three fingers click seems to be recognized as 4 or 5 fingers, so I am not getting the expected behavior.
  3. Two fingers click sometimes recognizes as 3 fingers click (the palm is counted as the 3rd finger)

It seems like it's not so hard to fix.
First you need to remember the start time of each touch
and do not take into account old touches when new ones appear.

It is also necessary to check the distance between touches, and if at least one of them is far from the other two, then do not take it into account when deciding what it is a middle click or not.

Perhaps for some, such logic will break the patterns of using the trackpad, so it should be able to turn on / off this logic in the settings.

Please someone implement it, I will appreciate it
