Though there is "toggle touchpad" secondary function on F6 button of my laptop currently this shortcut doesn't work.



xbindkeys -mk command doesn't show any info when I press Fn + F6.



I couldn't find related option in BIOS (to disable/enable the function).

  • xbindkeys is the wrong tool - try xev (and reposting isn't a good way to get answers).
