Touchpad blocker

This was the problem i used to face long back while typing text in a document. The problem is that when i start typing text in laptop for longer duration, sometimes the cursor jumps off to a different position and finally when i come to notice that i have done mistakes,it took reworking for me on the same document. This happens in laptop because while typing your touchpad is even enabled and cursonr gets activated whenever your palm touches the touchpad. To avoid this problem, now i have installed a Touchpad blocker in my laptop and i press Ctrl+F9 when i intend to disable the touchpad while typing the text.
