Adds a new action to toggle the touchpad on/off at runtime without editing the config file. Can be bound to a key or invoked via IPC with `niri msg action toggle-touchpad`. The toggle state is combined with the config's `off` setting - both must allow the touchpad for it to be enabled. State resets on restart and applies to newly hot-plugged touchpads.

Question: Can this allow me to disable touchpad when I plug any mouse through usb when gaming so touchpad input get disabled and re-enabled upon disconnecting the mouse? |

Yes. Because there is an ipc call, you can script an action to run the ipc call on whatever system event you want. You could also bake it into the start of your game! |
