(Solved) How do I disable laptop's tap-click?

[toomanyquestions]

Is it possible to disable my laptop's (Xfce Maya, Thinkpad T61) touch-click functionality?

I've used a command in terminal that seems to work (e.g. "synclient TapButton1=0") but I'm not sure how to make it persistant. Can I simply add it to an autostart.sh file? If so, where would that file be? Perhaps ~.config/xfce4/??

Hi toomanyquestions,

Have you tried going to menu >settings>Mouse & Touchpad and simply unchecking the box for enable this device?
That will disable it. You can then re-enable it but rechecking the box when you want.

toomanyquestions,
You can just modify it in the following command: sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf

by modifying it to TapButton1=0
