Sure. How about putting *that* into Tweaks? Although I've never run into such a feature to totally disable the touchpad on macOS or Windows so the idea there's a real need here strikes me as specious. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
