I loathe touchpads...
My previous defunct laptop touchpad had a button on it to switch it off (wonderful) The replacement laptop doesn't have this button and I constantly when typing inadvertently touch it and do something I don't want.
I realise, that I can disable the pad in Device Manager, but in the event of a crash, I may not have the use of a mouse.
Is there a keyboard disable/enable option?

Experience; is something you gain, just after you needed it most.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

If you are using Win10 try Settings/Devices/Mouse & Touchpad/Related settings/Additional Mouse Options.
You can then disable internal pointing devices when usb mouse attached.

True! I use this on my laptop together with an MS Bluetooth mouse!
The touchpad remains active until I use the BT mouse then it's disabled!
