Quite, thank you.
The System Settings/Hardware/Input Devices/Touchpad page you show
says "Turn off touchpad while typing".
I want to use the pointer on my ThinkPad rather than the touchpad,
as I imagine do many people with pointing sticks on their keyboard.
Some laptops have special key combination to turn touchpad on/off.
For example on my T400 it works with Fn+F8, and it shows notification
that it is on/off. This can be a solution when available.
