NAME

       touchfreeze — disables your touchpad when typing

SYNOPSIS

       touchfreeze

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly touchfreeze.

       touchfreeze  is  a  program  that  disables  your touchpad when you are
       typing. This prevents unintended click and scroll events when  part  of
       your hand touches the touchpad while you are typing.

       After you stop typing, there is a certain delay before your touchpad is
       enabled again. You can set the value of the delay by moving the  slider
       in touchfreeze’s window.  touchfreeze’s window appears when clicking on
       its dock icon.

       touchfreeze only disables click and  scroll  events  coming  from  your
       touchpad.  It  does  not  disable  cursor  movement, neither any events
       coming from your mouse.
