|
|
the touchpad when the keyboard is being used.
|
|
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
Disabling the touchpad while typing avoids unwanted movements of the
|
|
pointer that could lead to giving focus to the wrong window.
|
|
.SH "OPTIONS"
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-i\fR \fIidle\-time\fP
|
|
How many seconds to wait after the last key press before enabling the touchpad.
|
|
Default is 2.0s.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-m\fR \fIpoll\-interval\fP
|
|
How many milliseconds to wait between two polling intervals.
|
|
If this value is too low, it will cause unnecessary wake-ups.
|
|
If this value is too high, some key presses
|
|
(press and release happen between two intervals) may not be noticed.
|
|
This switch has no effect when running with \fB-R\fP.
|
|
Default is 200ms.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-d\fP
|
|
Start as a daemon, ie in the background.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-p\fR \fIpid\-file\fP
|
|
Create a pid file with the specified filename.
|
|
A pid file will only be created if the program is started in daemon mode.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-t\fP
|
|
Only disable tapping and scrolling, not mouse movements,
|
|
in response to keyboard activity.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-k\fP
|
|
Ignore modifier keys when monitoring keyboard activity.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-K\fP
|
|
Like \fB\-k\fP but also ignore Modifier+Key combos.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-R\fP
|
|
Use the XRecord extension for detecting keyboard activity instead of polling
|
|
the keyboard state.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-v\fP
|
|
Print diagnostic messages.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-V\fP
|
|
Print version string and exit.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-?\fP
|
|
Show the help message.
|
|
.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBDISPLAY\fP
|
|
Specifies the X server to contact.
|
|
.SH EXIT CODES
|
|
If syndaemon exists with a return code other than 0, the error encountered
|
|
is as below.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Exit code 1
|
|
Invalid commandline argument.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Exit code 2
|
|
The connection to the X sever could not be established or no touchpad device
|
|
could be found.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Exit code 3
|
|
The fork into daemon mode failed or the pid file could not be created.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Exit code 4
|
|
XRECORD requested but not available or usable on the server.
|
|
.SH "CAVEATS"
|
|
It doesn't make much sense to connect to a remote X server,
|
|
because the daemon will then monitor the remote server for keyboard activity,
|
|
but will disable the touchpad on the local machine.
