Getting trackpad to ignore touches while typing

[wressus]

I got it to work. As you say it only disables taps. Couldnt get the launchdaemon to work so made a shellscript run on start from keboardmaestro. It works!!!!! Should really be a built in function for this in macos when the trackpads are so large.

Actually you can do that if you go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad. Click the checkbox next to "Ignore built-in trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present."

But I don't use a mouse normally. I just want the trackpad to ignore input when I'm typing. If it had a 1-2 second delay after the last keystroke before "tap to click" would work, that would be great.

Hello!
Did you find any solution for this? This is exactly what I need lol

I am using a external display + keyboard + trackpad 2.

When typing on the keyboard I misstakely allways touch the trackpad 2.

EDIT3:
This works great!

Also BetterTouchTool seem to have this function but i cant get it to work.

The option in your screenshot only refers to gestures (like a 3 finger swipe).

Do you guys know how to make this software autostart? I need to find someone to pay i think who can do this for me. It would be perfect if it autostart with MacOS. 👍
