Linux toggle touchpad
Toggle touchpad (enable/disable) in Linux with xinput.:
if xinput list-props 13 | grep "Device Enabled (:digit:\+):\s*1" >/dev/null; then xinput disable 13 && notify-send -u low -i mouse "Trackpad disabled"; else xinput enable 13 && notify-send -u low -i mouse "Trackpad enabled"; fi
With 13 being the xinput id of the touchpad.
My old enable/disable oneliners have bits on how to find the ID:
'bash -c "xinput | grep TouchPad | ag -o "[0-9][0-9]" | xargs xinput disable"'
That said, I don’t remember the ID ever being anything else than 13.
Nel mezzo del deserto posso dire tutto quello che voglio.
