There it is.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">That kind of works, though it is crude and requires keyboard navigation to re-enable when you want your mouse back. I like the touchpad when I want to use it, but it gets in the way when I'm using the keyboard. I'd rather disable the touchpad quickly and then re-enable it when I want to use it just as quickly. Hence, I think it would be nice if Ubuntu had a shortcut key to toggle touchpad actvity.<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>You can assign a key to a command in Settings > Devices > Keyboard > Custom Shortcuts.</div><span class="HOEnZb"></span><br></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks Colin. I think I might do that. Perhaps there could be a default key mapping in some future Ubuntu: Ctrl-Alt-M doesn't appear to do anything at the moment and sounds kind of good.<br></div></div>
