Missing option in Touchpad setting for Plasma 5.24.7
Hi Everyone,
This is a wishlist item. It came from a discussion in libinput's bug tracker at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/924. In the 924 bug
report, there is a HP laptop with touchpad, and I want to disable the touchpad
when a mouse is plugged into the machine.
The KDE wish is, we need a UI setting to disable the touchpad when the mouse is
plugged in. libinput supports the configuration, but the KDE setting for
Touchpad does not expose it.
For libinput, this is the [manual] X11 option of interest. Many thanks to
@satrmb for the help in tracking it down:
```
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "libinput"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "SendEventsMode" "disabled-on-external-mouse"
EndSection
```
@satrmb is not sure what setting is needed for Wayland.

I am using Kubuntu 22.04.3, x86_64, fully patched. Plasmashell version is
5.24.7.
I see some other "disable touchpad with Mouse plugged in" reports, but I
definitely do not have the setting. See, for example, 349545 and 415364.
