Proof of concept script to disable the touchpad while typing

[pfeerick]

Adding python3 and the script to sudoers is not necessary. You need to call python3 using the full path! This works just fine on the 0.6.2 ubuntu mate image. Added user to 'input' group (sudo usermod -aG input USERNAME), copied script content to file '/usr/local/bin/touchpadTame.py' for and made executable for testing. Worked fine. Added below line to startup list via System -> Preferences -> Personal -> Startup Applications, logged out, logged back in... works like a charm! Thanks for putting it together @daid! I'll add it to my collection of scripts at https://github.com/pfeerick/pine64-scripts/

Code:

/usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/touchpadTame.py
