New laptop has arrived.
The subject line says it all. Gnome/mint/Ubuntu all seem to have a setting that you can have it automatically turn it off while you are typing and there are some command line things I can try.
Even a hotkey would be better than nothing. I can't really type on it like this.
If anyone knows the solution off the top of their heads...

SOLVED:
Code: Select all
syndaemon -i 1 -t -K -R -dNeeds to be put into a script file in .../Startup to persist.

Let us break down the above command and see what each argument does.
-i : Defines how many seconds to wait after the last key press before enabling the touchpad. In my case, I have set 1 second. The default value is 2.0 seconds.
- t : Only disable tapping and scrolling functions, not mouse movements, in response to keyboard activity.
-K : ignore Modifier+Key combos.
-R : Use the XRecord extension for detecting keyboard activity instead of polling the keyboard state.
-d : Start syndaemon as a daemon in the background.
