To completely remove the Virtual Trackpad:

cd ~/Virtual_Trackpad_for_KDE_Plasma
./remove_virtual_trackpad.sh

This will remove:

• Desktop entry from application menu
• KWin rules
• All project files and directories

The cursor sensitivity can be adjusted in the source code by modifying the m_sensitivity value in uinput_cursor_controller.cpp.

The setup script automatically configures KWin rules for:

• Forced "Keep Above" behavior
• Focus stealing prevention
• Automatic application on startup

To remove the rules:

./remove_kwin_rules.sh
