You want to use the terminal command synclient to make adjustments. Use synclient -l to see current settings. Do some internet searching for various options. See my review of my laptop for how I used synclient to adjust the middle-click timing of my track-pad. https://linuxatty.wordpress.com/2018/07/23/review-galago-pro-from-system-76-and-xubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver/ And, FWIW, I don't like to disable my track-pad when typing. I find that the main problem are the settings for double and triple clicking on the track-pad rather than its sensitivity when typing. So, I have all of those features turned off. - Victor -- Victor Forberger [email protected] blog: http://linuxatty.wordpress.com
