Dear all,

I am trying to set up a keybinding for enabling/disabling touchpad in dwm. I followed the instructions provided in the wiki; installing xf86-input-synaptics and creating this touchpad_toggle.sh script (made executable) in /home/artix/.scripts/:

Code: [Select]

!/bin/bash

declare -i ID
ID=`xinput list | grep -Eio '(touchpad|glidepoint)\s*id\=[0-9]{1,2}' | grep -Eo '[0-9]{1,2}'`
declare -i STATE
STATE=`xinput list-props $ID | grep 'Device Enabled' | awk '{print $4}'`
if [ $STATE -eq 1 ]
then
    xinput disable $ID
else
    xinput enable $ID
fi

I then added these lines in my config.def.h file in my dwm folder:

Code: [Select]

static const char *distouch[] = {"/home/artix/.scripts/touchpad_toggle.sh", NULL };

under /* appearence */
and

Code: [Select]

{ MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_t, spawn, {.v = distouch } },

under /* modifier */.

After modifying the config.def.h file. I run:
sudo cp config.def.h config.h
sudo make clean install

My intention is to enable/disable the touchpad with Mod+Shift+t by running the abovementioned script, but something is wrong. Perhaps the arguments in the definition of distouch in the appearence section?
