Bug ID: 444843
Summary: Plasma smart switching between mouse and touchpad for
laptops
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.2
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
It would be nice if Plasma would be able to do a sort of "smart switching"
between mouse and touchpad for laptops. What this means, is if a mouse is
connected, then the touchpad automatically gets disabled without user
interaction. When the user later unplugs the mouse then the touchpad enables
itself without user interaction.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Using a laptop, plug in a mouse
2. Start typing and accidentally slightly touch the touchpad
3. Your cursor goes all over and you might get angry
OBSERVED RESULT
Due to the touchpad not being disabled upon the mouse being connected, and the
user did not go out of their way to disable the touchpad for any many of
reasons. When they started typing and their finger or palm slightly touched the
touchpad the cursor moved all over and they got frustrated.
EXPECTED RESULT
When plugging in the mouse, the touchpad automatically disabled itself to avoid
any frustration or extra steps needed by the user.
