<div>
<pre>I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 on a Dell Precision 5520 laptop. The touchpad is
shockingly sensitive so I tried installing touchpad-indicator for its feature
to enable and disable the touchpad via a keyboard shortcut. This made the
laptop usable and the touchpad less annoying. Then after more Googling I
decided to try out libinput and this makes the touchpad very useful and not so
jittery when typing etc. However, touchpad-indicator now refuses to startup. I
suspect it wants to find a synaptics interface / driver somehow. I'm missing
the feature of touchpad indicator to define a keyboard short cut to toggle the
touchpad on and off. Is there a way to get touchpad indicator and libinput to
play nicely together? Or is there an alternative way to disable the touchpad
via shortcut when using libinput.
Another feature I'd like to use from touchpad indicator is the feature to
automatically disable the touchpad when a mouse is attached to the laptop. Is
there a way to do this with libinput?
Thanks for reading this.</pre>
