syndaemon − a program that monitors keyboard activity and disables the touchpad when the keyboard is being used.
syndaemon [−i idle−time] [−d] [−p pid−file] [−t] [−k] [−K]
Disabling the touchpad while typing avoids unwanted movements of the pointer that could lead to giving focus to the wrong window. This program needs SHMConfig "on" in your XOrg/XFree86 Synaptics Touchpad configuration.
−i <idle−time>
How many seconds to wait after the last key press before enabling the touchpad. (default is 2.0s).
−d |
Start as a daemon, ie in the background. |
−p <pid−file>
Create a pid file with the specified filename. A pid file will only be created if the program is started in daemon mode.
−t |
Only disable tapping and scrolling, not mouse movements, in response to keyboard activity. | ||
−k |
Ignore modifier keys when monitoring keyboard activity. | ||
−K |
Like −k but also ignore Modifier+Key combos. |
DISPLAY
Specifies the X server to contact.
It doesn’t make much sense to connect to a remote X server, because the daemon will then monitor the remote server for keyboard activity, but will disable the touchpad on the local machine.
