I can't believe I forgot how to do this... How do I configure the touchpad on my laptop? Specifically, I want to turn off the annoying clicking action that happens when you tap it twice. I use a USB mouse anyway, and it always gets in the way when I type.

Are you looking for this kind of solution:

System -> Preference -> Mouse (?) -> tab: Touchpad -> General

Or:

touchpad off: sudo modprobe -r psmouse
touchpad on: sudo modprobe psmouse

touchpad completely off:
go to: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
add psmouse

Is it possible to bind the touchpad off/on command to a hotkey? Like Ctrl+Alt+Delete?

The related entry in the System/Preferences menu allows to bind any hotkey to any command (use the "Add" button to define it).

And, many laptops have pre-defined functionkeys for this purpose.

For example Fn + F3 combination is for me the "togglekey",
thus I turn my touchpad while typing inactive,
and after typing return to active.
