Hi there, I just found your wonderful little utility, and tried it out for the first time. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have any effect on my system.

I assume it's not yet compatible with 10.12. I didn't see any other issues open, so I wasn't sure if anyone else had tested it. Just thought I'd let you know.

I can beta test for you if you'd like.

Thanks for putting this together. I find the trackpad wrist detection (or lack thereof) to be very irritating while I'm typing.

Thanks for reaching out. What time interval are you using? Also, are you getting any messages in the Terminal window about taps ignored?

Thanks for getting back to me.
I'm running it with your recommended setting of 200ms using the following command:
sudo ./TouchGuard -time 0.2

And as I'm writing this, I realize that I misunderstood the purpose of this script. I was expecting it to prevent cursor movement as well as prevent taps. I see now that it is blocking taps as it's supposed to.

Is there any way to prevent cursor movement as well by any chance?

What do you mean by cursor movement? Do you see the cursor moving around as you type?

@thesyntaxinator Yes, that is correct. The cursor moves while I'm typing.

I see. I don't have the bandwidth to implement the above at present but feel free to open a PR if you have a solution
