NAME
       syndaemon  - a program that monitors keyboard activity and disables the
       touchpad when the keyboard is being used.

SYNTAX
       syndaemon [-i idle-time] [-d] [-p pid-file] [-t] [-k] [-K]

DESCRIPTION
       Disabling the touchpad while typing avoids unwanted  movements  of  the
       pointer that could lead to giving focus to the wrong window.  This pro‐
       gram needs SHMConfig "on" in your XOrg/XFree86 Synaptics Touchpad  con‐
       figuration.

OPTIONS
       -i <idle-time>
	      How  many	 seconds  to  wait  after  the	last  key press before
	      enabling the touchpad.  (default is 2.0s).

       -d     Start as a daemon, ie in the background.

       -p <pid-file>
	      Create a pid file with the specified filename.  A pid file  will
	      only be created if the program is started in daemon mode.

       -t     Only  disable  tapping  and  scrolling,  not mouse movements, in
	      response to keyboard activity.

       -k     Ignore modifier keys when monitoring keyboard activity.

       -K     Like -k but also ignore Modifier+Key combos.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       DISPLAY
	      Specifies the X server to contact.

CAVEATS
       It doesn't make much sense to connect to a remote X server, because the
       daemon  will  then monitor the remote server for keyboard activity, but
       will disable the touchpad on the local machine.
