.TH "syndaemon" "1" "0.13.5" "" ""
.SH "NAME"
.LP
syndaemon \- a program that monitors keyboard activity and disables the touchpad when the keyboard is being used.
.SH "SYNTAX"
.LP
syndaemon [\fI\-i idle\-time\fP] [\fI\-d\fP]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"

Disabling the touchpad while typing avoids unwanted movements of the pointer that could lead to giving focus to the wrong window.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.LP
.TP
\fB\-i\fR <\fIidle\-time\fP>
How many seconds to wait after the last key press before enabling the touchpad. (default is 2s).
.LP

Start as a daemon, ie in the background.
.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
.LP
.TP
\fBDISPLAY\fP
Specifies the X server to contact.
.SH "CAVEATS"
.LP
It doesn't make much sense to connect to a remote X server, because
the daemon will then monitor the remote server for keyboard activity,
but will disable the touchpad on the local machine.
.SH "AUTHORS"
.LP
Peter Osterlund <petero2@telia.com>.
