Well, have something similar in my startup applications, but that is not the SOLUTION. The correct solution is to allow the user set it up in the GUI, as everything else he does. Indeed, there are people like us, who like and don't mind to write their own scripts and configuration files, but this is Ubuntu world, not Gentoo or Arch.
So, I've checked 14.04 settings now and there is a delay slider now - very well! But... The problem is that enabling "Disable touchpad while typing" in Mouse and touchpad settings does not invoke the "-t" argument by syndaemon, which is, [CITE] -t Only disable tapping and scrolling, not mouse movements. [/CITE] What it does invoke currently is this: [CITE] syndaemon -i $DURATION_SLIDER -K -R [/CITE] Without "-t" it remains uncomfortable to use, since it blocks the mouse completely and it does not feel good. I am suggesting whether using "-t" by default silently, or offer it as a checkbox in addition to the current Touchpad -> General settings. I've no idea what -R does, looking into man does not help, because I don't know what advantage could possibly bring the XRecord extension. Without -R it works just fine... I consider adding "-t" as essential, on the other hand... Here is my touchpadfix.sh I am currently using (I put it into Application autostart): $ cat ~/bin/touchpadfix.sh #!/bin/bash echo -n "enabling middle click on touchpad..." synclient TapButton3=2 && echo " OK" echo -n "enabling horizontal scrolling..." synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=1 && echo " OK" echo -n "enabling 'disable touchpad while typing' feature..." syndaemon -i 1 -d -t -K && echo " OK" ** Attachment added: "Screenshot Xfce 14.4. mouse and touchpad.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1045758/+attachment/4150355/+files/Screenshot%20Xfce%2014.4.%20mouse%20and%20touchpad.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045758 Title: Disable touchpad while typing default delay too long To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-settings/+bug/1045758/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
