Bug ID: 406852
Summary: Need a way for an app/game to hint that "disable
touchpad while typing" feature should be temporarily
turned off
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: libinput
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Similarly to how games can tell KWin that they'd like compositing disabled,
there's another thing that it would be nice to have a hint for: temporarily
turning off the feature to disable the touchpad while typing.
Many games require the simultaneous use of a mouse and keyboard. When a mouse
isn't available because the user is using a laptop, they use their touchpad
instead. When the "disable touchpad while typing" setting is active, these
kinds of games are not playable.
However the setting is nice to have on at other times, so it would be nice if
KWin had some kind of hint that games could tell it, which would make it
disable this setting wile the game was being played.
