Public bug reported: GNOME Control Center has a handy option to disable the touchpad on keyboard input. It would be nicer still to extend that to other input too. E.g. I have a touchpoint on my laptop, just above the touchpad, and when I click its buttons I very often brush the touchpad with my wrists.
