23:30 smathles: Hi all, I'm wondering if there currently is an option in libinput to disable a laptop's touchpad when a mouse is disabled? I'm aware that this is something that has a solution in X11, but I'm not sure if this is implemented for wayland. (I'm using arch, KDE 6.1, still no option in settings. Looking to see if this is a KDE issue or a libinput issue.)
23:30 smathles: Some relavent bug reports, https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/924, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415364#add_comment
23:30 smathles: *relevant
23:31 smathles: *when a mouse is plugged in
23:32 smathles: Wow I should really proofread my messages before I send them.
23:35 soreau: sounds like a job for the compositor
23:36 soreau: on gnome, there's a gconf key org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad.disable-while-typing
23:37 soreau: but you want disable when the mouse is plugged in
23:40 smathles: yep, that's correct
23:40 soreau: looks like sway supports this via ipc
23:40 smathles: I'm not sure if https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/configuration.html#send-events-mode means this works already and it's KDE's fault
23:40 soreau: so if you can detect the mouse being plugged and unplugged from a script or program, you can toggle the touchpad
23:41 smathles: Yep, it can definitely do that. So then I suspect that it's KDE's issue for not implementing this feature using libinput (where they did make it work with synaptics).
23:42 soreau: well, yea.. it needs the compositor to support this or have some way to let the user script the togglign of input devices
23:42 smathles: I'll bump the issue there then instead of at libinput then. Thanks soreau!
