[Bug 1575911] Re: Page on disabling touchpad while typing is erroneous
edit to previous comment: I did some more research on this. Disable while typing is controlled by syndaemon. Disable while typing defaults to on and there is no way to change it through the GUI. The Wiki is wrong and system should support configuring all features of the touchpad through the GUI joel@joel-UX303UA:~$ ps aux|grep syndae joel 1665 0.0 0.0 22504 1244 ?SApr28 0:03 syndaemon -i 1.0 -t -K -R -i enables "disable while typing" and 1.0 the length of time to disable it for.

[Bug 1575911] Re: Page on disabling touchpad while typing is erroneous
Gunnar, are you serious? the ON/OFF switch disables the touchpad entirely, which is not what the OP is talking about at all. The documentation says there is a setting to disable the touchpad while typing, which is a feature of MacOS, and possibly Windows. Its a very useful feature and Ubuntu should have it. The Wiki is wrong, and the OS is deficient WRT to using the GUI to configure the touchpad. Its as bad as WIndows 10 in that respect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575911 Title: Page on disabling touchpad while typing is erroneous To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/1575911/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
