typing.
- Physical buttons work even while the touchpad is disabled. This includes
:ref:`software-emulated buttons <t440_support>`.
- libinput pairs touchpads and keyboards for the disable-while-typing
feature. In the most common case, the internal touchpad is paired only
with the internal keyboard. Typing on an external keyboard will thus not
disable the touchpad. Some devices require a :ref:`quirk <device-quirks>`
to be correctly paired.
Disable-while-typing can be enabled and disabled by calling
**libinput_device_config_dwt_set_enabled()**.
