Re: (SOLVED) disable trackpad when mouse is connected (GNOME bug?)
Good afternoon Another option is to use a keyboard shortcut. My last laptop came with this set up using a Fn key combo (eg fn-f5) So I'm using a key that was set to answer MSteams calls - what? Check keyboard - shortcuts - touchpad. cinnamon gives options of toggle/switch on/ switch-off. I guess gnome will be similar as it was the basis of cinnamon All the best Keith Bainbridge keith.bainbridge.3...@gmail.com +61 (0)447 667 468 UTC + 10:00 On 26/1/24 13:53, Max Nikulin wrote: On 25/01/2024 21:42, Max Nikulin wrote: Try lsusb --verbose --tree I have received a private reply.
