Hi, I could turn off my touchpad by pressing F6, and then the touchpad turns off. However, on startup, the touchpad is set to on automatically. I again have to press F6 to turn off my touchpad. I don’t want to disable it entirely. I just want to turn the touchpad on when necessary just by pressing F6 again. What do I do?
Searching for an actual Toggle, I am not finding much for Gnome. I found some bash scripts that may work, but pretty sure you don’t want to go through that trouble without a reasonable guarantee it will do what you want it to do.
You can usually disable the TouchPad in the bios if you don’t use it. Press f2 to access your bios(on most laptops, may be different on yours) and look through the advanced options for TouchPad change it to disabled. It will not come on at all. You will have to enable it in the bios again if you want to use it.
