Its very simple to use and doesn’t need any configuration. You just need to install the software and it’ll sit in system tray. Since the touchpad is disabled, the cursor will not jump automatically while typing. TouchFreeze is a free software which automatically disables the touchpad of your laptop as soon as you start typing.
It has been suggested by lots of people in Microsoft communities as well. Here is the answer! I found that a freeware “ TouchFreeze” can fix this problem. So what’s the solution? How to fix this annoying cursor jumping problem? So its definitely a problem present in some laptops and not in your hands. Most of them were using laptops of Dell, HP or Sony. In fact I tried to type some text while looking at the keyboard and touchpad and still the cursor jumped to a different location.įirst I thought that its a problem in my laptop but then I searched on Internet, I found there are many people who have faced the same problem while using a laptop with touchpad. I double-checked that my hands were not touching the touchpad accidentally. In past I was using Dell XPS 1530 laptop and I never faced such problem but when I got another laptop Dell XPS M15, I started having this annoying problem. When you are typing some text, the mouse cursor automatically jumps to a different location and if you don’t notice it and keep typing, you may end up with an unpredictable document which might look written in an alien language. It doesn’t matter what and where are you typing, you might be typing in Microsoft Word or a web browser or anywhere else.
The problem occurs while typing some text.
I’m fine with this workaround, personally, but it would be nice to figure out a root cause and solve it.Today I’m going to talk about one of the most irritating, annoying and frustrating problems I have ever encountered while using laptops. I’ve been able to replicate the behavior outside of GIMP as well as KWin/Plasma (inside a Kodi session). Right now I’m working around the issue by using the super+space+mouse movement in GIMP. This becomes an issue with GIMP, as space+mouse movement is used to move the canvas around the screen. KDE → System Settings → Hardware → Input Devices → Trackpad → (Uncheck) Disable while Typing.Ī similar issue I’ve experienced with my install is that the trackpad disables while spacebar is held with no preceding modifier. Edit (FIXED): As is often the case, posting the problem inspired me to double check the obvious, and the obvious solution worked.
