I cannot figure out a way to disable the built-in keyboard when using my external keyboard. I can disable the touchpad when connected to the wireless touchpad, so I figured they would also integrate a keyboard option. Any ideas?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 13.6
"That's not how it works."
For keyboards, the Mac continues to use "all connected devices active". That means you can literally type every-other key from every-other connected keyboard.
if you need to keep the cat off it, cover with a lightweight but stiff card, such as a file folder or a piece of foam-core.
Hate that? Tell Apple here:

Not a cat person. Not that it matters, but I would like to set my keyboard on top of the laptop to use a good keyboard instead of the poorly design one that's built-in.
I have learned a lot of things on these forums from other users, and I have frequently come across you giving similar styles of advice. Is there any reason why you cannot educate others without acting the way you do? Having a little tact goes a lot further with people. You don't know me, and I don't know you, so there's no reason to answer a question with this much vitriol. If answering questions here makes you miserable, I would suggest getting off the computer for a bit.
I am really sorry I could not give you the answers you wanted to hear.

I do not understand how you are reading my posts, which are written with simple declarative sentences, as "this much vitriol."
I can not see any disparaging comments or character assassination against you or against Apple or against technology in general.
I WELCOME your suggestions about how modify my writing style to seem less vitriolic to you.
