Comment 279 for bug 550625

One problem with the python script is that you can no longer do Ctrl-click. This is an issue for me when browsing as I regularly open links in tabs in the background. Does anyone know of a way that the script could be modified to just disable the pad but leave the buttons operational?

I think the issue of jittery/jumpy mouse being intermittent for some people is that it is very dependent on your typing style. If you are able to keep your palms from brushing the touchpad when typing you are probably not going to see the issue as much.
