(Get the code!)
Sebastian,
Our initial testing and tuning was among co-workers, friends, family that we could test on.
So far we haven't gotten any complaints from customers about the 0.5 second delay being too long, although some customers still complain that they don't feel "Disable while typing" does what it should. So I'm thinking we should try just a touch longer, maybe 0.6 seconds.
As far as competing platforms, I know OSX does disable the trackpad briefly after any typing activity. The also do palm detection, but how effective that is varies a lot by hardware. It doesn't work very well on current System76 products because the trackpad isn't centered beneath home row.
Note that with my proposed settings, syndaemon does still does disable accidental tap to click. I was just commenting that from my experience an System76 hardware anyway, I wasn't getting accidental tap to clicks when I turned off sysdaemon entirely (and turned tap to click on, which I normally turn off). But obviously that's very hardware specific.
