Description of the new feature / enhancement

There built-in feature in laptops to On/Off the touchpad/Mouse. But it is not there for all of them. Can the community can add this feature in PowerToys. I am hoping to see a response.

Scenario when this would be used?

There are two main Scenarios that I feel are important.

  1. While Using Keyboard
    As a programmer or a person who types a lot, when we are working on a project (i.e. coding or any kind of documentation), a misteach on the touchpad is very annoying and causes a huge disaster in many cases.
  2. While Using an external Mouse
    When we are using an external mouse for other purposes, (Specially, for gaming or editing) a mistouch case issues while working.

Supporting information

There is no as such supporting detail but the main reason for me to download this app was to get this feature but kind of started liking its other features and I think this would be very helpful to have this feature also.

I think this still depends on the hardware. At least in the "normal" Windows' Settings, on a pc with a precision touchpad, I have a toggle switch to turn on/off the touch pad, and a check box to "leave touch pad on when a mouse is connected".

i found the shortcut to fast on/off the laptop touchpad.
Use PowerToys key remap function, map any key to Ctrl+Win+F24 can implement this function.
