adding a new keyboard command

Is there a way to add a new keyboard command to turn my touchpad on and off?

 

If possible I was hoping to add a fn+ins command or just convert the ins button entirely.

 

Not sure if it makes a different, but I am using a Razer Blade 15 2018

You could use AutoHotKey for this: https://www.autohotkey.com/

You only have to setup so it captures your desired keyboard shortcut (e.g. fn+ins or ins on its own) and then have it do the correct action for turning the touchpad off (which is usually fn+f6/f7/f8, just depends on your laptop).

The code should look a little something like this:

  

^Ins::
	; Hold function
	SendInput, {F6}
	; Let go of function
Return

The only thing is that function is typically not see as a regular key. So in this example I did not include the proper command for that. This code now only works when pressing Ctrl (what the ^ means) and Insert and doesn't hold down the function key in the actual command.

 

I recommend checking this to see what the keycommand you need for function

The Razer Blade doesnt come with  keyboard command to turn the touchpad on or off.

 

I want to make it so that when i press the ins / insert key, my touchpad will be disabled if on, or enabled if off

I was finally able to set something up with this

 

~ins::
GetKeystate, insstate, ins, T
blockinput, % ((insstate= "D") ? ("mousemove") : ("mousemoveoff"))
return

 

As far as I can tell, when i press ins, touchpad turns on and off,

 

but would this affect affect an actual physical mouse or just the touchpad?

That should affect a physical mouse as well. 

 

If you only want to disable the touchpad, you can make a powershell script along the lines of: 

 

$sort = Get-PnpDevice | Where-Object {$_.FriendlyName -like '*Synaptics*'}
foreach ($object in $sort) {
Disable-PnpDevice -InstanceId $object.InstanceId -confirm:$false
}

 

(swapping *synaptics* with whatever FriendlyName value your touchpad has, and then another script that is the same but Enable-PnpDevice for when you want to turn it back on)

 

 and setup AHK to run the scripts.

If you only want to disable the touchpad, you can make a powershell script using Get-PnpDevice| where {$_.friendlyname -like "*touch*" and Enable-PnpDevice/ Disable-PnpDevice -Confirm:$false, and trigger that with AHK. 

ok, i gotta admit, im lost already.

 

I just modified a script i found earlier, and did trial and error until it worked.

 

so, honestly, im not actually sure how or where to put the line you gave me.

I haven't used AHK for a long time, so maybe someone else will know for sure, but should be something like:  

^!d::
RunAs, Administrator, PASSWORD
Run, powershell -Command "$sort = Get-PnpDevice | Where-Object {$_.FriendlyName -like '*Synaptics*'}; foreach ($object in $sort) {
Disable-PnpDevice -InstanceId $object.InstanceId -confirm:$false}"
return

^!e::
RunAs, Administrator, PASSWORD
Run, powershell -Command "$sort = Get-PnpDevice | Where-Object {$_.FriendlyName -like '*Synaptics*'}; foreach ($object in $sort) {
Enable-PnpDevice -InstanceId $object.InstanceId -confirm:$false}"
return

Obviously, replacing Synaptics with the Friendlyname of your touchpad and Administrator and PASSWORD with actual credentials. And that would be mapped to control+alt+d/control+alt+e, so you'd have to change that to whatever you want.

i looked at my mice and pointing devices in device manager, and theres only 4. 1 of them being razer blade and the other 3 being HID compliant. i tried disabling them 1 by one, but even after a restart, none of them affects the touchpad.  anywhere else i can look for the name of my touchpad?

open powershell, run 'Get-PnpDevice', copy paste the results here (probably as a spoiler as it will be a long list).

It's probably the 'HID-compliant touch pad'. 

 

See if this works to disable it: in Powershell with elevated priv. : 

$sort = Get-PnpDevice | Where-Object {$_.FriendlyName -like '*touch pad*'}; foreach ($object in $sort) {
Disable-PnpDevice -InstanceId $object.InstanceId -confirm:$false

is it possible to set this up without the administrator and password?

 

 

I tried various things, but i end up with errors like user name or password is incorrect. What user and password am i supposed to be using?

Wouldn't hurt to try it without; but pretty sure Disable-PnpDevice requires admin. access. 

 

You could probably make powershell elevate to admin and run the commands using saved credentials, rather than using AHK's RunAs:  

# Capture encrypted password once and store to file
$passwd = Read-Host "Enter password" -AsSecureString
$encpwd = ConvertFrom-SecureString $passwd
$encpwd > $path\password.bin

# Afterwards always use this to start the script
$encpwd = Get-Content $path\password.bin
$passwd = ConvertTo-SecureString $encpwd
$cred = new-object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential 'domain\username',$passwd
Start-Process PowerShell -Cred $cred -ArgumentList '-noexit','-File','path-to-script'

 

but you'd still need an admin. acct. and password.

thank you for all the help you've given. I'm going to try to learn a bit more about this first before coming back to it. I was hoping, it would a quick easy thing to make, but i underestimated how much it would take to get the exact result i was looking for. Thank you very much though.

I looked up some more stuff and saw this Reddit post which mentioned there is a built in feature kind of for this:

This Windows Settings tab can be pinned to the start menu, so you can go there somewhat quickly, but I am still looking if there is a way to incorporate this into a keyboard shortcut.

Yea. I have a way to disable thd trackpad entirely. And enable.

Windows key

Touchpad

Tab tab space.

Roughly that sequence and you can enable or disable touchpad.

I wasnt able to make that sequence automatic with a single keyboard button though.
