Disable touchpad while typing - time

gastlag · 2015-10-24 19:44:30

Hello,

I'm using XFCE and I think the default 2.0 second is way too long. For exemple for me 0.05 second is enought. May be you should reduce the default time.

Best and thanks for all you do !

You can reduce the time yourself by adjusting the duration slider just below the checkbox.
Or programmatically via:

xfconf-query -c pointers -p /DisableTouchpadDuration -s 0.05

Hello Toz,

Thank you for your answer ! But it doesn't work fine.

I'm using Debian 8.2 with XFCE on a macboopro 5.5

First it didn't worked because I had to create "DisableTouchpadDuration" because with your command i get that :

La propriété "/DisableTouchpadDuration" n'existe pas dans le canal "pointers". Si une nouvelle propriété doit être créée, utilisez l'option --create..

So I created it via this in the terminal

xfce4-settings-editor

I put the type on "Double" but it doesn't work. And searching "DisableTouchpadDuration" I've found this recent bugreport : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1453512

Finally the easiest way is to uncheck this in the xfce panel

Disable touchpad while typing

and launch this at each start

syndaemon -i 0.05 -K -R

.

I think the best would be reduce the default value. 2s is realy too long.

It looks like a bug report already exists for this.
