I use the 'synclient' tool to switch the touchpad on and off. It's annoying during normal use for me - I keep touching the touchpad and sending the mouse & focus elsewhere. So when I have a mouse plugged in ( usually ), I go:
synclient TouchPadOff=1 When I remove the mouse, I go: synclient TouchPadOff=0 synclient can also enable the 'tap-to-click' functionality. I guess it would be a reasonable little project to turn this functionality into an Enlightenment module ( even better - being able to configure this switch when a mouse is added / removed ), but I haven't had the time for hacking in C for quite a while, and I'm relatively happy to trigger the above with a shell script. Admittedly OSX users roll their eyes when they see me do this :P Dan On Sun, Oct 19, 2014 at 9:12 AM, Wido <[email protected]> wrote: > I would guess that gnome has some kind of synaptics included (synaptics as > in touchpad, not the package manager) and that keeps running/configured > after you close gnome, and stays like that when you start E > > I think there is a synaptics daemon that you can run from cli instead of > putting into xorg.
