[Doug McMahon]

Hi guys - 
this bug was/is really only about to documentation.
As far as the touchpad not being disabled while typing by default & no option 
to do so that's in this bug here.
It's a regression from past Releases where it was disabled & an option exposed 
in the Touchpad panel

Checked on a 14.04 installation, and there the "Disable while typing"
checkbox is present. Can't tell when or why it was dropped. So that page
has been correct previously.

I may have misunderstood it. Looks like
 is related, then.

[Joel Gallun]

edit to previous comment:

I did some more research on this. Disable while typing is controlled by
syndaemon. Disable while typing defaults to on and there is no way to
change it through the GUI. The Wiki is wrong  and system should support
configuring all features of the touchpad through the GUI

joel@joel-UX303UA:~$ ps aux|grep syndae
joel  1665  0.0  0.0  22504  1244 ?SApr28   0:03 syndaemon -i 
1.0 -t -K -R

-i enables "disable while typing" and 1.0 the length of time to disable
it for. Man syndaemon for details

[Bug 1575911] Re: Page on disabling touchpad while typing is erroneous

[Joel Gallun]

Gunnar, are you serious? the ON/OFF switch disables the touchpad
entirely, which is not what the OP is talking about at all.

The documentation says there is a setting to disable the touchpad while
typing, which is a feature of MacOS, and possibly Windows. Its a very
useful feature and Ubuntu should have it.

The Wiki is wrong, and the OS is deficient WRT to using the GUI to
configure the touchpad. Its as bad as WIndows 10 in that respect.

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Well, there is an ON/OFF switch instead. The page should be reworded
accordingly. Thanks!
