Uniwill driver is making touchpad switch button not working on InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen 8 with third-party distros #205

Installing tuxedo-keyboard on third-party distro can make touchpad switch button to not work. Both the switch on the touchpad itself and a keyboard shortcut (Fn+F9) are sending xf86touchpadtoggle key signal to the system, which is interpreted by desktop environment. With the driver installed, KDE Plasma (for example) always shows "Touchpad On" toast notification instead of alternating between "Touchpad On" and "Touchpad Off".

Found the solution, the problem turned out to be more trivial. Plasma was toggling the touchpad off, then tuxedo-keyboard driver was it turning back on (or the other way around). To fix simply disable default shortcut behavior in the Plasma Settngs -> Shortcuts -> Programs -> Touchpad -> disable "Toggle Touchpad:"
