How can I disable the touchpad while typing on KDE?

Is there such a setting like in gnome?

I'm a bit late, but i found this post via a google search over this problem and found another solution to this trackpad issue. Application menu -> Utilities -> touchpad management. There, you can ask the system to disable the touchpad when a usb mouse is connected and/or when you are typing.

Thanks - I do not find this menu entry. Do you know which command line is assigned to this menu entry? – Alex Oct 15 '12 at 19:06

Did you try touchpad-indicator? You can install it using these commands while in a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install touchpad-indicator
