It's impossible to write this way, text gets deleted, windows change, random tabs open. I've tried every solution I came across but none actually solve it (some don't even work)
I've tried installing touchpad indicator, I've tried adding a syndaemon option from startup application, I tried the same but from the terminal, nothing works.
I Just want to disable the touchpad completely while typing, no scrolling, no moving the cursor, nothing.

I suggest installing
libinput
it has much better "disable while typing" and "palm detection" algorithms.Run
and restart the GUI session, or reboot.
If you need "tap to click", you can add
to the touchpad section of
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-libinput.conf
.All options can be found on the manual page.
If you are using Ubuntu 16.04 with the
-hwe-16.94
stack, you will need to installxserver-xorg-input-libinput-hwe-16.04
package instead ofxserver-xorg-input-libinput
.You can check which HWE stack is installed by checking if
xserver-xorg
orxserver-xorg-hwe-16.04
package is installed.
