This script is a quick and easy way to toggle my touchpad on and off. I tried g pointing devices, but that doesn't seem to consistently work. It'll stay on for a while and then the trackpad will turn back on. I'm hoping to do the following: * Set up my .xinitrc to disable the xinput by default (xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" 125 0) * Map this script to my GNOME task bar as an application or something similar so I can toggle it when I do want to use the trackpad. - sudo cp toggleTouchpad.pl /usr/bin/ - sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/toggleTouchpad.pl - Use custom application Launch w Were I really clever I'd get the desktop icon to change depending on the state. TODOS: Create an installer, .desktop file, icons, etc. See if can enable/disable the scrollbar part of the trackpad but disable rest.
