Description Fernando M. Muniz 2024-06-25 17:18:51 UTC 
"Deactivate [touchpad] during typing" should contain a warning about it making impossible to aim-while-moving in games.

Or perhaps identify Proton (Or anything game-specific) being used and deactivate automatically?

kcms/touchpad: warn that "disable while typing" can break games

I opted not to use a ContextualHelpButton because I think it's fairly
important that people see this message and be made aware of what it
might break.
