I want the "Disable Touchpad while typing" to not be enabled!

I found these articles:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/773595/how-can-i-disable-touchpad-while-typing-on-ubuntu-16-04-syndaemon-isnt-working

https://askubuntu.com/questions/838645/how-to-not-ignore-touchpad-input-when-keyboard-keys-are-pressed-on-ubuntu-gnome

But these dont work with my Lattitude e7270 running Ubuntu 20.04

Its really, REALLY annoying to have this feature while trying to play World of Warcraft (yep got that working, full prepatch shadowlands to run on this dinky hardware just fine) and these articles are too out of date.

Anybody got any ideas. Sucks forgetting to pack a laser mouse. .. .

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad "disable-while-typing" false

This disables palm rejection on the Gnome desktop environment, which Ubuntu uses by default. You might wanna have a "tech notes" folder for stuff like this, like I do.
