How to Toggle Touchpad on TOSHIBA Dynabook Tecra: Keyboard Shortcuts & Settings

Toggling Touchpad with Keyboard Shortcut

• 💡 The first method to toggle the touchpad on a TOSHIBA Dynabook Tecra involves a keyboard shortcut.
• 🔑 Pressing the Fn key combined with the F9 key (which usually has a touchpad icon) will disable the touchpad.
• ✅ Pressing the same combination again will re-enable the touchpad.

Disabling Touchpad via Settings

• ⚙️ The second method involves using the Windows settings. This method is not interchangeable with the first.
• 🖱️ To disable the touchpad through settings, navigate to Bluetooth and devices, then select touchpad and disable it.
• ⚠️ If disabled via settings, it often cannot be re-enabled using the F9 shortcut.

Re-enabling Touchpad Using Keyboard Only (Settings Method)

• ⌨️ To re-enable the touchpad when disabled via settings, use keyboard navigation.
• 🚀 Open Settings by pressing the Windows key, typing 'settings', and pressing Enter.
• 🖱️ Use the Tab key to navigate to the 'Home' option, then arrow keys to select 'Bluetooth and devices', and press Space.
• 🖱️ Continue tabbing to 'devices', then use arrow keys to select 'touchpad', and press Space to re-enable it.
• ↩️ If you overshoot a selection, use Shift + Tab to go back.
