How to automatically disable trackpad when I am coding with vim in iTerm2

itermtrackpadvi

As the touchpad is bigger now, when I am coding in vim, my thumbs occasionally touch the trackpad and thus move the cursor to somewhere else, which is extremely annoying.
How to disable trackpad automatically when I am typing, or else how to just disable trackpad in iTerm2?

There's no way to disable the trackpad unless you hook up an external mouse/trackpad (which may be your solution).

Your trackpad is definitely dead. It needs a replacement. The dead line means that it is slowly dying. I have had these things. Probably your connector is getting old. But mine got burnt up because the hotel I was staying in did not have proper grounding in their mains supply. This meant that current was flowing from the metal parts and trackpad (it is electrified), through my body, and onto any grounded metal surface I touched. Trackpads are very sensitive to current changes as they have very thin wires running through them. The high ground current burns them off, either row by row or column by column.

The history is shared between the iTerm2 terminal tabs: how can I switch that off

Executing the following should do the trick (use setopt to reenable them):

unsetopt inc_append_history
unsetopt share_history
