For the longest time I have been looking for the correct way to use my Lenovo Y50’s hotkey (Fn + F6) to disable my touchpad. I hate the when I’m typing and my cursor decides to jump somewhere…
I found scripts to disable the Synaptic touchpad but this isn’t what I really wanted. They worked but still…
Anyway, after yet another Google search I found the answer! The solution is located my Linux Mint Post Lenovo Y50 – Turn off Touchpad and the answer by ecola:
Here is the Answer:
gksu pluma /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb
Add this at the end of the Lenovo section:
# Lenovo 20378 keyboard:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:svnLENOVO*:pn*20378*:pvr* KEYBOARD_KEY_f3=f21 # Fn+F6 (toggle touchpad)
Save the file, then:
sudo udevadm hwdb --update
sudo reboot
Works just perfect! Thanks ecola!
