Can someone help me figure out how to turn off the touchscreen on a Chromebook? I’m looking for a quick way to disable it temporarily, as it's causing some issues with my workflow. Any tips or steps would be greatly appreciated!

To shut off your Chromebook touchscreen:

1. Click Press Search + Shift + T to obtain Crosh (the Chrome OS developer shell).
2. Type: shell and press Enter.
3. Then one should type the following: sudo input disable touchscreen and press Enter.

Alternatively, it can be switched off on the settings touchscreen, Toggle Off in device settings, in the event that this option exists on your model.

To turn off the touchscreen on a Chromebook:

1. Press Search + Shift + T (sometimes it’s Search + Shift + T again to turn it back on).
2. If that doesn’t work, open Chrome, type chrome://flags/#ash-debug-shortcuts, and enable it.
3. Restart your Chromebook, then use Search + Shift + T to toggle the touchscreen.

If it doesn’t work, enable debugging shortcuts in chrome://flags → Debugging keyboard shortcuts → Enable → Restart.

I've been following the discussion on Olympic lifts and I wanted to add my two cents. In my opinion, the key to mastering Olympic lifts like the snatch and clean and jerk is developing proper technique through consistent practice. I recommend focusing on building strength and power in the squat, deadlift, and press before attempting Olympic lifts. This will help you develop the necessary strength and athleticism to execute the lifts safely and effectively.

To turn off the touchscreen on a Chromebook, open the Chrome browser and type chrome://flags in the address bar, then search for “Debugging keyboard shortcuts” and enable it. Restart your device, then press Search + Shift + T to toggle the touchscreen off. You can use the same shortcut again anytime to turn it back on.

hey yeah i ran into this on my chromebook too. the `search + shift + t` shortcut was the only thing that worked consistently for me, but i definitely had to enable those debugging shortcuts in `chrome://flags` first. after that it's just a quick toggle. glad someone else mentioned it, bc it fixed my workflow issues instantly.
