Change touchpad delay after typing This has been super annoying because the default delay for the touchpad is 2 seconds! Here’s how to set it to whatever delay you want.First, turn off the “disable touchpad when typing setting” in your system settings and then open a terminal and enter the following command.

syndaemon -d -K -i 0.3s
