Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
The "Disable touchpad while typing" option is useful to avoid accidental
touchpad actions while typing. But the current implementation makes it
inconvenient to press e.g. "Ctrl" and "Left touchpad button"
simultaneously. (This opens a link in a new tab in Firefox, so it is a
handy combination when browsing using a computer with less than three
touchpad buttons.) It would be much better if the modifier keys where
ignored when monitoring keyboard activity.
I don't know if everybody else use modifier key combos as often as me,
but for me this qualifies as a potential "papercut". At least the bug
has the papercut-quality of being trivially fixable; it is just to start
"syndaemon" with a "k" option in gnome-settings-
daemon-2.27.5/plugins/mouse/gsd-mouse-manager.c:
args[0] = "syndaemon";
args[1] = "-i";
args[2] = "0.5";
args[3] = "-k";
args[4] = NULL;
