TapGuard Prevents Accidental Tapping


If you have a tendency to accidentally hit the trackpad while typing on your PowerBook’s keyboard, causing the insertion point to go somewhere you don’t want it to go (because you have trackpad clicking enabled), you’ll like TapGuard. TapGuard is an extension which “suppresses clicks for a short period after a keypress, preventing the vast majority of accidental clicks. When TapGuard ‘eats’ a click, it flashes the menu bar. It’s very simple, and if you type a lot on your portable, very sanity preserving,” according to its author, Ed Watkeys. TapGuard is $5 shareware and available from Ed’s Web site poseur.com.
