Hi, I’m trying to disable my touch pad when typing/having a mouse connected in order to avoid accidentally touching it and messing up what I’m doing. The problem is that when I use the shortcut to disable the touch pad (or from settings) nothing happens and the touch pad stays active.
I’m a noob so I have no idea what the problem could be. Help would be greatly appreciated.
