Turn trackpad clicking on and off via AppleScript
i posted the below as a hint, and it didn't go, and i realized it must be because the issue was dealt with previously. indeed. here's my slightly shorter solution. Occasionally, I let other people (my partner, co-workers) hop on my PowerBook to look something up or write a quick email etc. My practice of keeping the trackpad on clicking mode can be annoying and confusing to those who don't use it, or who don't even know it's possible, as they inadvertentlly click on something they didn't mean to. Yet for me, drilling down into the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane and unchecking the "Clicking" box was more time consuming and than I'd like. This applescript was for me an elegant solution, hope others may fine it useful. (It's especially useful with Quicksilver, since i can just invoke, hit t-o-g-Return (which finds the script i've named "Toggle Trackpad Clicking") and it's done) Important: for the script to work you must have "Enable access for assistive devices" checked in the Universal Access prefernece pane. Also, your mileage may vary and it's possible the delay written in to the script will need to be longer or shorter. how to use:
