Shortcut key to disable/enable #60

Closed richsmith closed 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Usually the extension is extremely useful, but it's a bit of an annoyance if the touchpad is auto-disabled when the mouse is unavailable. E.g. bluetooth mouse somewhere in range but misplaced, or taking a while to connect.

Describe the solution you'd like Ideally I'd like some way of re-enabling the touchpad manually. The only way I can think of is with a key combination.

Apologies, it seems this already got added in a previous release. However, the shortcut doesn't seem to work for me. I'd also suggest adding the shortcut details to the readme or the touchpad settings.

If you open extension settings (v33 and up), it does show the shortcut key but I will also include it in the README at some point. The shortcut should work unless the same key combination is used by some other application/system. You may try changing the shortcut as described in this comment: https://github.com/user501254/TouchpadIndicator/issues/23#issuecomment-504754287.
