Is there a way to disable trackpad clicking by touch? - Peter Van Horn IV - 05-26-2020
I don't see any option in the mouse settings area about how to change this. Thanks
(I keep hitting it accidentally while typing on my tiny netbook)
Thank You

Open up the menu and type mouse, you should see Mouse and Trackpad, select that and look around to see if there is an option that suits your needs.

Settings - Mouse & Touchpad :
Where it says Device there's a dropbox next to it.
Choose your trackpad/touchpad from the list and use the switch next to it to disable.

I am not sure if this still works since I already gifted my Linux Lite Laptop last year.
1. Menu>Settings>Mouse and Touchpad>tab Touchpad> Disable touchpad while typing: set the slider to OFF.
2. Menu>Terminal
a. Copy/paste:
Code:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synapticsCode:
sudo mkdir -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dCode:
sudo cp -v /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf3. Menu>Session and Startup>Application Autostart tab
a. Click Add (+ sign)
b. Fill-out the following:
-- Name: Syndaemon
-- Description: Disable the touchpad while typing
-- Command: syndaemon -i 1.0 -K -R -t
Click OK.
4. Reboot your computer
5. Check if working : Terminal> ps aux|grep syndaemon
