so I had to assign another key( super+ F9) rather than Touchpad toggle( fn+ F9) key.it just shows touch pad icon on the right-top of the screen.assigning Touchpad toggle key to the above custom shortcut would not work.It worked at ASUS A556UA Laptop and Ubuntu14.04 圆4 installed. Press the shortcut and check if touchpad is toggled. So just write sh /PATH/TO/SCRIPT in the Command of your shortcut window. Keyboard shortcut for running the scriptĪnd last step is adding keyboard shortcut to run the script file. State=`xinput list-props "$device" | grep "Device Enabled" | grep -o "$"` So I got a bash script file for toggling touchpad with 'xinput' command(original script can be found here). Getting id of your touchpad $ xinput listĢ. Here is a solution for toggling touchpad just by pressing a shortcut. In my case, fn+ F9 is mapped into Touchpad toggle.īut the key does nothing just showing touch pad icon on the right-top of the screen like this. Now if I could just get the up-arrow in nautilius to work and see the. bashrc or whatever except that I'm not sure that device 12 (actually 11 for me) is always the touchpad. xinput set-prop 12 "Device Enabled" 0Īnd I would put it in. Since 12 is the id for my touchpad, running the following command will disable it. It displays all the input devices connected. This worked for me in 11.10 : ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2
In Ubuntu versions >12.04 you can also directly disable via xinput -disable 12 You will get an output that looks like this: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 Disable Dell Laptop's Touchpad Disable Touch Pad of your Laptop Avoid Erratic Cursor Movement When Typing How to Disable Touchpad - HP Support Forum Hope this helps.Run the following command in a terminal: xinput list
Read the manual for the system for the specific instructions or contact the manufacturers support for that laptop. Other laptops simply automatically disable the touchpad when you plug in an external mouse. On some systems, you can disable the touchpad in the systems BIOS settings, while on others, such as most Dell systems there is an option in Control Panel/Mouse/Dell Touchpad settings. This is not a Windows configuration setting. Hi How to Disable the touchpad depends on which type of computer or touchpad you are using. Again, I know it is not another driver as has been suggested in other threads as nothing changed except my version of the OS. Please advise how I can return my laptop to how I want it to work. I'm pointed to outdated OS information or additional workaround drivers. Nothing else has changed, and no searches return working information. Prior to that, I had my touchpad disabled as I use an external device. I hope someone can help recently we installed Windows7 to our laptops.
