Please can you implement an action to enable/disable the MacBook Pro internal keyboard based on a key-combo from an external keyboard (or any trigger really)
My kitten has taken to sitting on the laptop while I'm working at my desk - presumably because it's so warm! It wouldn't bother me so much because I use an external keyboard and monitor, so she's not even getting in the way, but she triggers keypresses every time she moves!
It'd be brilliant if there was a way to enable/disable the internal keyboard (and trackpad for that matter!) at the drop of a hat/key-combo.
I just found your other utility KeyboardCleanTool which does half of what I need - it does block keyboard input, but it blocks the external keyboard too.
Is there any way to make KeyboardCleanTool or BTT do what I'm trying to achieve?
Hi, if you still need a solution, maybe check out Karabiner Elements, a FOSS project on GitHub. Under Devices > Advanced, you can define some rules for disabling the internal keyboard.
I use an MBP 2018 with butterfly keyboard, which I do not like (duh). Sometimes I use a Bluetooth mechanical keyboard instead, and Karabiner Elements allows me to put the BT one on top of the internal one without worrying about the otherwise inevitable accidental input on the internal keyboard. It works great.
…That said, I personally would love to see this feature come to BetterTouchTool, too. Voted
