How can I disable the touchpad while typing on KDE?
Is there such a setting like in gnome?

KDE 4: sudo apt install kde-touchpad
kcmshell5 kcm_touchpad
or kcmshell4 kcm_touchpad
And you'll even have an option to disable touch and scroll only, leaving you the ability to move the cursor.
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
