FR: Tie disable depending on input from keyboard or other device(s) - and help needed #3
Description
It would be nice if titdb could disable the trackpad / flex mode only when keyboard is typing to emulate palm rejection. Another option would be to disable tap-to-touch behavior on the virtual trackpad during this instead of fully disabling.
Though I'm actually having trouble getting this working at all on Kubuntu 25.10 with wayland. I'm running sudo ./titdb -d /dev/input/event29 -m s -l 80 -r 80 -t 80 -b 80 which in theory should make the trackpad mostly or completely unusable, but it still works fine despite sudo libinput debug-events --verbose clearly showing the event source switch to the virtual trackpad when titdb is running:

I'd love a pointer if I'm doing something wrong. Is wayland an issue?
