No it is not. Focus a working script. Assigning it a key-combo is pretty straight forward. I will explain after I get off work later.

Yes, I thought of that too, but ... there ***IS*** no such option in xubuntu. At least I cannot find it. Under "Mouse and Touchpad" -> switch to touchpad -> there is a checkbox for "Enable this device" and 2-3 settings pertaining to speed and sensitivity. That is it. And .. I have tried the "Disable touchpad while typing" function on other computers. It is not very helpful and not what I am looking for. I want to be able to switch the touchpad ON/OFF - preferably with one switch (shortcut key). That cannot be so difficult, can it?
