So, libinput is the "native" input handler for keyboards/mice/trackpads/etc. on Wayland.

The only command-line tools I can find for interacting with libinput devices ONLY WORK IN X11. 🤦‍♂️

I just want a way to turn my trackpad off/on when I connect/remove a real mouse.

@Taffer I believe there is a possibility to trigger actions based on events with some config file... I used this for trackpad to click translation I think, there's an Arch package that does something like this

@unfortunateshort yeah, you can trigger scripts via udev rules for events (like adding or removing a mouse), but no way in KDE to toggle the trackpad

@Taffer On Wayland, input configuration is handled by compositors. (With most options just setting parameters of the libinput library.) There is no way to configure things like that that works across compositors.

@ids1024 AFAIK KDE has no command-line tool for adjusting settings (Gnome has one). I’ve gotten as far as setting a keyboard shortcut to toggle the trackpad, but this should be automatable …
