Subject: How to switch off the touchpad when Emacs window is active under Linux?
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2015 21:02:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <18033119.faXLECKoLl@linux-k2bd.site> (raw)
Hi,
I've got one of those notebooks with a laaaaarge touchpad. I'd like to get it
switched off when the emacs window under linux is active. I often hit the
touchpad accidently while typing and move the cursor to another place in the
buffer. I would like to avoid this.
Somebody (thanks, Bob) showed me this page:
https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/38o0tr/i_have_to_share_this_switch_your_touchpad_off/
Synclient on this notebook works, but this function doesn't:
======================0
(defun turn-off-mouse (&optional frame)
(interactive)
(let ((inhibit-message t) (default-directory "~"))
(shell-command "synclient TouchpadOff=1")))
(defun turn-on-mouse (&optional frame)
(interactive)
(let ((inhibit-message t) (default-directory "~"))
(shell-command "synclient TouchpadOff=0")))
(add-hook 'focus-in-hook #'turn-off-mouse)
(add-hook 'focus-out-hook #'turn-on-mouse)
(add-hook 'delete-frame-functions #'turn-on-mouse)
=======================
Any suggestions welcome, I'm using openSuse Tumbleweed.
Regards,
Alexander
