it did not work with the sentelic device when I tried recently, which certainly
is fixable.

However for some situations I would still want a way to temporarilly disable the
touchpad at all - using some hotkey or widget. 
Is there anything in KDE? 

I think it should be doable with a shell script messing with xinput or udev, which method
would work in F12?
