I remember, years ago, when using Elive, I was going nut with the number of typos I was doing and to be more specific, was doing way more mistake than with other distro.
Meaning, I'm in the middle of typing something and suddenly I'm not in the Text box anymore etc
It may be has to do with the TouchPad configuration, will play with it... I think I saw some option to disable TouchPad when typing etc
Not sure how and when it happen, but often endup having to click the TextBox again etc
I can't anything else than the TouchPad... (Grrr I just did it while typing ! My cursor ended up at the top of this paragraph...
use that number to define the touchpad (I called it ID)
xinput --set-prop "ID" "Synaptics Noise Cancellation" 20 20 and play with the '20 20' at the end like '30 30' or more.
The current setting is '10 10'
On top:
Then you can try out the following commands one by one and find out which settings do what you need.
I've got:
xinput --set-prop "ID" "Synaptics Finger" 35 45 250
xinput --set-prop "ID" "Synaptics Scrolling Distance" 180 180
Once you've found the settings you like the most ....we'll make it stick for next restarts.
BTW, you can see all your current touchpad properties with: xinput list-props "ID"
And before you ask: Yes, the same commands work on Deepin. Where on Deepin you might have a diiferent id number ... so query that first.
Note : some other OS would have fun seeing this thread.... But we can't have it all LOL
I must Admit, I've been using a Elive Retro for a few days and it seem faster, seem to drain my battery less, and is very stable and light on ressources...
If you find a result that works for you you can add that command as a last line in your ~/.bashrc or, if your device 'id' changes ....:
If you have more users than one (or want it to always find and alter the correct device) ...... create a script (with sudo) /etc/X11/Xsession.d/51TouchPadFix
containing:
id=$(xinput list | grep -i syn | awk -F= '{ print $2 }' | awk '{print $1}')
# Anyone know how to make this a single 'awk' pipe?
xinput --set-prop "$id" "Synaptics Noise Cancellation" 30 30
In due course this will be added to the 'elive-touchpad-configurator'.
Considering this has happened before ..... and both of us fell for the same issue again:
@Thanatermesis should de-activate (uncheck) that option by default.
Not everyone is going to take the trouble to read up on the forum here and may in consequence call Elive (or with luck, only the configurator) total shit and move to another distro.
On top I think the addition of enabling "Palm Detect" would be a bonus....it's disabled by default in the current settings.
