Turning Synaptics Touchpads On/Off with a Shortcut Key

You may wish to turn the touchpad on or off so that it doesn't interfere with typing when using a USB or other mouse.

Use following steps:

Step 1

from a terminal, edit /etc/xorg.conf

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and look for the following section of code:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Synaptics Touchpad"
	Driver		"synaptics"
	Option		"SendCoreEvents"	"true"
	Option		"Device"		"/dev/psaux"
	Option		"Protocol"		"auto-dev"
	Option		"HorizScrollDelta"	"0"
EndSection

and add one more Option at the End of the Section:

	Option      	"SHMConfig" 		"on"
EndSection

If you are using an Alps-Touchpad, which you can find out by typing

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

your code section should look like this

Section "InputDevice"
	Driver  	"synaptics"
	Identifier  	"TouchPad"
	Option		"SendCoreEvents"	"true"
	Option		"Device"		"/dev/input/event2"
	Option		"Protocol"		"event"
	Option          "SHMConfig"             "on"
EndSection

You can define some parameters which influence the behaviour of your touchpad. These parameters are presented already in [1]. You can check if your touchpad works correct and you have the correct parameters with

synclient -m l

If everything works fine, the position of your finger will be updated everytime you move it and based on this information you can set your parameters.

Step 2

Next we will create 3 files - a bash script to turn the touchpad on, one to turn it on, and a python script to use a single key combination for both. At a terminal, cd to /usr/local/bin and make a new file:

cd /usr/local/bin
gksudo gedit tpoff

and paste the following code in the file, save it and close it.

#!/bin/bash
#

synclient touchpadoff=1 

again, make a new file:

gksudo gedit tpon

paste the following, save and close:

#!/bin/bash
#

synclient touchpadoff=0

once again, make a new file:

gksudo gedit touchpad.py

paste the following, save and close

#!/usr/bin/python
import os
import string
	

def ReadFile():
	myfile = open('/tmp/synclient.tmp', 'rb')
	for line in myfile:
		TestString(line)		
	myfile.close()

def TestString(string):
	for word in string.split():
		if word == "TouchpadOff":
			setting = string.split()
			ChangeState(setting[2])
	

def ChangeState(current):    
	if current == "0":
		os.system("synclient touchpadoff=1")
	else:
		os.system("synclient touchpadoff=0")
	os.system("rm /tmp/synclient.tmp")

def Main():
	ReadFile()
os.system("synclient -l > /tmp/synclient.tmp")
Main()

and finally, change the permissions of these three files:

sudo chmod 755 tpon tpoff touchpad.py

Step 3

Next, edit your sudoers files to allow you to execute both scripts without a password.

sudo visudo

and add this line

{user}   ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/touchpad.py

where {user} is your user name

save (in nano hit <CTRL> <o>), and make sure to save it as: /etc/sudoers and not /etc/sudoers.tmp

Step 4

Alternatively to setup bellow, you might use gnome-keybindings(In depth instructions, 4.) or other desktop-dependent tool.

Next, install xbindkeys

sudo apt-get install xbindkeys

when it's done, install xbindkeys-config, the GUI for xbindkeys

sudo apt-get install xbindkeys-config

once each is installed, start both applications:

xbindkeys

and

xbindkeys-config

edit your file to the shortcut key you want. For example, to be able to switch the touchpad on/off by <Ctrl><F5>, fill in the following, under Edit:

Name: Touchpad On/Off Key: Control + F5 | m:0x4 + c:71 Action: /usr/local/bin/touchpad.py

then click apply & save & exit

Now that that is done, restart xbindkeys:

xbindkeys

You may need to restart X.

Remember that each time you restart X, you will need to run xbindkeys again in order for the shortcut to work. Go to System>Preferences>Sessions>Startup Programs> click add type xbindkeys then click ok.
