[Trisquel-users] Touchpad on/off shortcut

Sometimes the touchpad comes in handy, at other times it is annoying (e.g.  
when touching my mistake). So, I was wondering if it is possible to make a  
touchpad on/off shortcut and found this:

Before I start experimenting with though, I would like to ask more  
knowledgeable people here if I should expect it to work on my trisquelised  
machinery?
