Author:	Martin Ueding <mu@martin-ueding.de>
Manual section:	1

Synopsis¶

thinkpad-touchpad

Description¶

This scripts toggles the TrackPad. It is designed to work on ThinkPads, but it will probably work on almost all laptops.

Options¶

on|off

If you want to enable the touchpad, use on. Otherwise use off.

If you omit this option, the script will toggle the touchpad on/off.

Config¶

In the configuration file, you can set the xinput name of the touchpad. The ThinkPad X220 Tablet has SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad for instance. The default configuration option is just TouchPad to be rather general. This is how you change it in the configuration:

[input]
touchpad_device = TouchPad
