How can I disable my touchpad/prevent accidental clicking while typing on Fedora 24?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
My problem is this:
While I'm typing on my XPS13 9350, it often happens that I touch the touchpad with my palm, causing the cursor to jump around and therefore I'm typing in the wrong place from then on.
What I've already tried:
- Turning Palm detection on in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/touchpad.conf
- Using syndaemon -i 2
- Using synclient to turn off the touchpad alltogether
- Using cinnamon settings to disable the touchpad while typing
All of these actions had absolutely no effect at all.
Best case would be one of these 2:
I can use the touchpad to move the cursor while I'm typing but I can't click
Palm detect works and the touchpad doesn't even notice anything because it detects my palm correctly
Also acceptable would be:
- As long as I'm typing the touchpad is being disabled completely
Why has nothing I've tried so far had any effect and how can I get this to work?

The key to disable touchpad while typing doesn't exist anymore in the Gnome registry.
First install dconf-editor -
sudo dnf install dconf-editor
then create a key in dconf editor using this command on terminal.
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/touchpad/disable-while-typing true
It will create disable-while-typing as key and will set it to true.
This worked for me on fedora 23, Gnome 3.18. I will also work on fedora 24.
**Update:**Tested and this also works on Fedora 24.

I guess, trackpad button can not be pressed accidentally while typing without knowingly putting enough pressure on it. :-)
