There: "keyboard -> shortcut -> system (I think it was)" there is a

Specifying a shortcut key works like a charm.
Go to http://troubleshooters.com/lpm/201406/201406.htm, and search for
"Touchpad Mouse Toggle" (without the quotes), to see a shellscript that
works on any laptop with a standard touchpad and Linux and synclient
installed. Hotkey it, and it's fast enough to do most of your typing
sans-mouse, and quickly switch to mousing and back again.
And it's distro-agnostic, and not likely to be replaced by an upgrade.
Now .. THAT sounds wonderful and exactly what I am looking for.
However, I am afraid I do not understand the instructions:
(from the indicated website:)
Touchpad Mouse Toggle
This is actually a necessity on all laptops, because if you're doing
serious typing, the mousepad will mess things up, so it's usually better
to have it disabled. And yet sometimes you might need the mousepad. _So
make the following shellscript, permissioned executable, and either put
it on $PATH and call it ttog, or hotkey it:_
#!/bin/bash
curstate=`synclient | grep -i TouchpadOff | sed -e"s/.*= //"`
if test "$curstate" = "1"; then
synclient TouchpadOff=0
else
synclient TouchpadOff=1
fi
What am I supposed to do here? Thomas
