@JoseExposito is this something Touchégg should listen for?

JoseExposito commented 3 years ago

Definitely, and Gala as well. I'll need to figure out how to check if the touchpad is disabled though, both for this and ignore while typing.

Actually, I'm not sure if this should be handled by libinput. I need to investigate how pointer movement gets disabled and then fix it at the appropriate level.

I don't think this is a bug in our side, according to libinput:

Available options are enabled (send events normally), disabled ( do not send events), disabled on external mouse (disable the device while an external mouse is plugged in). https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/configuration.html#send-events-mode

So, libinput should not be sending events, including multi-touch events, when the mouse is connected or while typing.

Does this also happen with the disable while typing setting? It'll be also interesting to test this with a newer libinput build before reporting upstream. Unfortunately, my touchpad is external and this settings doesn't seem to apply, so I can not help with this.

No when using keyboard gestures aren't triggered, that function seem to work fine. sorry took long to respond i didn't have my computer for a while

I believe both cases are handled by libinput.

Closing the issue as I don't think it is our bug.
