Unlike Method 1, a restart will not reenable your laptop’s keyboard.
Step 12: When it has installed, select ‘Close’ As with the hardware solution, you can still use the arrow keys to move the cursor within your document in either normal or trackpad-off modes.Step 11: A warning will appear, select ‘Yes’ First, you won’t be able to use the embedded numeric keypad when in Mouse Keys mode, because those keys are reserved for moving the cursor around. There are two minor downsides to this technique. Once you’ve finished transcribing War & Peace, press the Option key five times in a row again, and everything will be back to normal. Just like that, your trackpad will no longer work-you can click and drag on it at will, but the cursor won’t move an inch. Try it out by opening TextEdit, and then pressing Option five times in a row. Using these two features together, you can put an end to all accidental cursor movement while typing. Next, you told the system to completely disable the trackpad when Mouse Keys is enabled. Next, check the box next to “Ignore trackpad when Mouse Keys is on.” So what have you done? First, you set the system up so that pressing Option five times in a row will turn on Mouse Keys, which allows for full cursor control with the numeric keypad (which is embedded on the 789-UIO-JKL-M keys on a laptop). Check the box next to “Press the Option key five times to turn Mouse Keys on or off” to enable Option-key control over the Mouse Keys feature. Open that panel, and switch to the Mouse & Trackpad tab. The second solution, and the one I prefer as it doesn’t require any extra hardware to lug around, relies on the Universal Access System Preferences panel.
I usually only figure out what’s happened after I’ve merged two sentences together into one jumbled mess. That’s usually, not always-sometimes I’ll accidentally tap-click after a typing pause for instance, not notice that I’ve done so, then resume typing. With this feature enabled, I’ve found that the cursor usually remains where it’s supposed to be, even if I accidentally brush the trackpad. If you have your trackpad set up to click when tapped-which I do, as I find it much easier than tapping the button-and you do not enable the “ignore trackpad” option, you’ll find that your cursor (and hence, where your typing appears) jumps around your document any time your finger or palm accidentally taps your Mac’s trackpad. If you use a Mac laptop with a trackpad, and spend quite a bit of time typing on it-perhaps you’re a writer for a Mac-related Web site or something-you’re probably well aware of what I consider to be one of the most-important settings in OS X: the “Ignore accidental trackpad input” checkbox on the Trackpad tab of the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences panel.
