I would also like the ability to disable the touchscreen, especially on Wayland, since there's no other way (like xinput) anymore.

Add touchscreen KCM

There are various properties of a touchscreen that the user may want/need to configure

First the user may want to disable the touchscreen altogether

Then there are some cases where the touchscreen isn't automatically assigned to the correct display and a manual override is needed

This new KCM provides a way to do both

It is Wayland-only
