Hi, my mouse ran out of battery out on me earlier and the only way I could use my computer was with the keyboard since I had the touchpad turned off. Is there a way to easily turn on the touchpad using only the keyboard?
Eventually I got it, but the System Settings are hard to navigate with keyboard only because you can 'tab' through controls, but there's no visual indication of what control is selected.
I'm using Mint 17.2 with Cinnamon and default (Mint-X) theme.
