touchfreeze

NAME

touchfreeze --- disables your touchpad when typing

SYNOPSIS

touchfreeze

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly touchfreeze. It was written for the Ubuntu distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

touchfreeze is a program that disables your touchpad when you are typing. This prevents unintended click and scroll events when part of your hand touches the touchpad while you are typing.

After you stop typing, there is a certain delay before your touchpad is enabled again. You can set the value of the delay by moving the slider in touchfreeze's window. touchfreeze's window appears when clicking on its dock icon.

touchfreeze only disables click and scroll events coming from your touchpad. It does not disable cursor movement, neither any events coming from your mouse.
