How to disable TouchPad while typing with Budgie?

AKhare

I am using Budgie on my laptop. The TouchPad on this machine is so sensitive I usually just disable TouchPad or I end up constantly retyping my document. How with Budgie can I setup "disable trackpad while typing?

Sorry if you have opposite issue where you want to use TrackPad while typing, that is not the issue here.

Open up a Terminal and do: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad 'disable-while-typing' true

This can also be accomplished by installing dconf Editor, going to the /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/touchpad path and toggling on the disable-while-typing option.

Hi!
Does one get any sort of feedback from the system when having run your command?
Or would I have to just check it by typing something?
