McDonald (CodeMouse92)\n- Inspired by [this answer][1] from Maxweel on AskUbuntu.\n\n## Compatibility\n\nThis should work on any Debian-based system, and may also work on other Linux\nsystems. It is designed to work automatically with any graphics tablet that can\nbe controlled by `xsetwacom`.\n\n**If you encounter any problems with any Linux system or Wacom tablet, please\nreport in Issues!**\n\n## History\n\nWacom graphics tablets are essential parts of any modern graphic designer's\ntoolkit. Luckily for us Linux users, they work with Ubuntu very well out of the\nbox! However, some tablets (such as the Wacom Bamboo) have touchpad\ncapabilities, which can be a massive inconvenience if you tend to rest your hand\non the pad while drawing. Shutting this capability off is less than trivial, so\nI wrote this script to automate the process.\n\nI've been using this script for three years - it's the first thing I run when I\nplug in my Wacom Bamboo!\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nYou must have the package `pcregrep` installed on your system, which should be\navailable from your system's default package repository. You should also have\n`xsetwacom` on your system, which is usually pre-installed on Ubuntu by default.\n\n## Installation\n\nSimply place the `wacomtouch` file in a convenient place for scripts, and be\nsure the location is included in your environment path. Mark the script as\nexecutable via `chmod +x wacomtouch`.\n\nHere's an example install, placing the script in your `/usr/local/bin`\ndirectory. Note that we only need the `sudo` because we're working in a system\ndirectory.\n\n```bash\n# Move to the location where the script will live.\n$ cd /usr/local/bin\n# Download the script file from GitHub directly.\n$ sudo wget https://github.com/CodeMouse92/WacomTouchToggle/raw/main/wacomtouch\n# Make the script executable. (You are encouraged to read the file BEFORE doing this, so you know what it does.\n$ sudo chmod +x wacomtouch\n# Run the script, turning off your tablet's touch functionality.\n$ wacomtouch off\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nTo turn on and off your tablet's touchpad capability, run `wacomtouch off` or `wacomtouch on`.\n\nIf you receive the message...\n\n\u003e No Wacom touch device detected.\n\n...that means the tablet is either not plugged in, or has no touch capability to\ntoggle.\n\n[1]: https://askubuntu.com/a/118466/23786\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcodemouse92%2Fwacomtouchtoggle","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcodemouse92%2Fwacomtouchtoggle","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcodemouse92%2Fwacomtouchtoggle/lists"}
