Mouseless don't respect palm rejection setting #54

Closed czhang03 closed 2 weeks ago

czhang03 commented 3 months ago

On most desktop on linux, palm rejection is enabled by default. However, mouseless doesn't respect this setting:

To reproduce, on a gnome desktop set /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/touchpad/disable-while-typing to true in dconf. Try to type and moving the trackpad at the same time with mouseless enabled will see the mouse cursor moves normally; if the mouseless service is disabled, then the trackpad input will be ignored when the keyboard is typing.

I think this is a duplicate of #50, so I will close this one.

In the other issue I linked a possible solution, I don't know if there is a way to fix this in mouseless directly as it creates a virtual keyboard device, which is treated like an external keyboard by default.
