# Disable touchpad while typing

Touchpads on laptops are often located where you rest your wrist while typing, which can sometimes cause accidental clicks while you type. You can disable the touchpad while you type. It will only work again a short time after your last key stroke.

Feu clic al vostre nom a la barra superior i seleccioneu Paràmetres de l'ordinador.

Open Mouse and Touchpad and select the Touchpad tab. The touchpad tab will only be available if your computer has a touchpad.

Select Disable touchpad while typing.

I repurposed this page. It used to just be how to disable your touchpad entirely. Phil had some instructions on how to do this in gconf-editor, as well as how to trigger an auto-disable when you plugged in your mouse. GConf instructions are outdated for GNOME 3. We could resurrect and make current the old stuff, but as maybe a tip or advanced topics. Check git history.
