Typing trigger

typing: is a trigger that fires when keys other than modifier keys are pressed. This trigger provides disable-while-typing similar to libinput and syndaemon. If you are using a keyremapper such as xkeysnail and libinput's disable-while-typing does not work, try setting it.

It can be placed in the root of yaml and configured as a gesture. The following is a configuration that uses xinput to turn off tapping for 0.6 seconds to avoid false touches.

typing: # disable while typing
  command: |
    touchpad_id=$(xinput | grep Touchpad | grep -oE "id=[0-9]*" | cut -d"=" -f 2)
    xinput set-prop $touchpad_id "libinput Tapping Enabled" 0
    file=/tmp/typing_command_break
    touch "$file"
    sleep 0.6
    [ `find "$file" -mmin +0.01` ] && \
      xinput set-prop $touchpad_id "libinput Tapping Enabled" 1
  interval: 0.5
