Bug ID: 520035
Summary: Add support for libinput 1.31.1 configurable "disable
while typing" timeout
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

Target Milestone: ---
Libinput 1.31 added configurable "disable with typing" timeouts.
>From the Libinput 1.31 release notes:
https://lore.freedesktop.org/wayland-devel/aY56u6fqOsHIZJXx@quokka/T/#u
> The disable-while-typing and disable-while-trackpointing timeouts are now
> configurable (within reasonable limits). These timeouts specify how long the
> touchpad or trackpoint should be inactive after key presses. Note that
> libinput
> internally uses multiple timeouts depending on the original event,
> configurable
> is only the "long" timeout after a key press + release which should be good
> enough for the vast majority of use-cases.
The function for configuring this is libinput_device_config_dwt_set_timeout.

Please add configuring for this to the touchpad KCM. I find the default to be
too short for me, and I often find myself hitting the touchpad and moving my
text insertion point while typing. (This has been a big annoyonace of mine with
Wayland, when I stopped being able to use the synaptics driver and syndaemon to
configure this.)
The timeout for "disable while trackpoint" is also configurable, and Plasma
should add configuration for that timeout as well.
