Description Peter Hutterer 2014-11-02 22:59:09 UTC

Triggered by this GNOME bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617932.

Request is to be able to disable the trackstick to avoid accidental input. This is currently possible in libinput with the sendevents configuration, a better solution may be to delay initial trackstick events for some minimal timeout and wait for key presses to occur. If the key press is one of KEY_G/H/B/N within the timeout, take the trackstick movement as accidental movement and discard it.

I consider this nice-to-have at max, to be implemented in a period of idle time.

been open for a while, no idle time found to implement it and it's a bit of a niche request anyway - the trackstick usually requires enough physical force to not activate it accidentally. Closing as WONTFIX, if you're interested in implementing this just re-open the bug.
