For this function: https://endlessparentheses.com/disable-mouse-only-inside-emacs.html - how can we turn on that minor mode this function with the first key typed? That would disable the touchpad during typing. - how can we turn off that minor mode, 2 or number seconds after typing? -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns
