The options available are "Disable touchpad while typing" and in
connection with it "Disable taps and scrolling only". You can also set
the shortcut to enable/disable touchpad on the same tab. Apart from
that, I don't think there is a global "disable touchpad altogether"
option.

Fedora 22 uses the newer libinput touchpad driver, you can uninstall
it and install xorg-x11-drv-synaptics to configure as in Fedora 21.
