I have a laptop where the touchpad is just under my thumbs as I type. The frustrating thing is that now and then I will brush the touchpad, and it moves the cursor in my text. So I'll type half a paragraph into the wrong location in my document about, oh 3 times per hour. I have no idea if there is a setting for this, but is there some way to fix this problem? Like maybe disabling the touchpad until I hold control or something?
