--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
The "disable touchpad" applet was deleted in Plasma 5.23 because it was causing
people to brick their computer by disabling their touchpad *using* their
touchpad, leaving them no graphical way of enabling it again. Hopefully it
should be obvious how distressing this would be to a typical user. :)

You can still set a global shortcut to toggle or separately enable and disable
your touchpad, and if your keyboard has a dedicated "disable touchpad" button,
that should still work. But we thought that this feature was far too dangerous
to have a default GUI method of using it.
