This is a wishlist item, or maybe a "I wish it worked like x".

When using "disable touchpad while typing," gnome disables the WHOLE touchpad while typing ANYTHING, including a Ctrl or Alt key. This makes it very difficult to do Ctrl clicks.

Some may disagree, but it seems like it would be preferable to me to either
A) allow "button" clicks while typing but not the (possibly accidental) "tap to clicks"
B) don't disable clicks when function keys are pressed
Maybe an option for one or both of these is in order.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

g-s-d is just calling syndaemon there, reassigning to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics as a wishlist
