~XF86TouchpadToggle~. And for that, I need this small script that will
actually toggle it, and it will be used in my window manager configuration.
First, let’s detect the current status of the touchpad:
First let’s declare some variables to make this script more personal. With my
current computer (a Gazelle by System76), the name of my touchpad is the
following:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set TPSTATUS (xinput list-props 12 | grep "Tapping Enabled" | grep -v "Default" | awk '{print $5}')
set TPNAME "ELAN0412:00 04F3:3162 Touchpad"
#+END_SRC
Let’s now get the identifier of the touchpad for ~xinput~:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set TPID (xinput list | grep $TPNAME | awk '{print $6}' | sed 's|id=\(.*\)|\1|g')
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s detect the current status of the touchpad:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set TPSTATUS (xinput list-props $TPID | grep "Tapping Enabled" | \
grep -v "Default" | awk '{print $5}')
#+END_SRC
This will set ~TPSTATUS~ either to ~0~, meaning tapping is disabled, or to
~1~, meaning it’s enabled. I will consider any other value as being disabled.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
test $TPSTATUS = "1" && set NEWTPSTATUS 0 || set NEWTPSTATUS 1
#+END_SRC
Now let’s declare some variables to make this script more personal. With my
current computer (a Gazelle by System76), the name of my touchpad is the
following:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set TPNAME "ELAN0412:00 04F3:3162 Touchpad"
test [[ $TPSTATUS = "1" ]] && set NEWTPSTATUS 0 || set NEWTPSTATUS 1
#+END_SRC
Finally, let’s update the touchpad’s options:
