Turn on/off internal keyboard

[zenworm]

Hi everyone,

 

I sometimes use a 60% keyboard on top of my Macbook but unless I turn off the built-in keyboard I was getting accidental keypresses because my Pok3r is heavy enough and just the right size to press the keys underneath.

 

There are two Terminal commands I was running to switch the internal keyboard on or off but I quickly got tired of running them so I created this Alfred workflow to make it super easy.

 

Hope someone else finds it useful!

 

Download and get all the installation/command deets on the Github repo.

As a warning, there’re a good chance this won’t work with every model, and there may even be some models where you simply won’t be able to turn the internal keyboard back on without a system reboot.

I have a workflow that does something similar, and Macbook Airs in particular, are problematic.
