Hi,
I agree that it should be easier to turn off touchpad clicks. I usually
turn off the whole touchpad, if there is a mouse. So I install
touchpad-indicator
(if it is well implemented in the version I use) or a simple script
function, that I add to .bashrc and use TT to toggle the touchpad ON/OFF
-----
alias TT='touchpad-toggle'
###
function touchpad-toggle {
# toggle synaptic touchpad on/off
# get current state
SYNSTATE=$(synclient -l | grep TouchpadOff | awk '{ print $3 }')
# change to other state
if [ $SYNSTATE = 0 ]; then
synclient touchpadoff=1
echo "touchpad OFF"
elif [ $SYNSTATE = 1 ]; then
synclient touchpadoff=0
echo "touchpad ON"
else
echo "Couldn't get touchpad status from synclient"
exit 1
fi
}
####
alias TT
-----
Best regards
Nio
