Big Trackpad Issues

Well, I've got this 2016 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. This has this big ol' track pad that becomes activated by the slightest proximity of: my palm, or shirt cuff, or sweater sleeve that brushes across it. This tender touch seems to hop the cursor to all sorts of locations when typing. It has reduced my productivity by half as I need to find the errant phrase embedded in another paragraph, highlight and copy/move it to its intended location and usually adjust positioning of several sentences.

I guess one could weld their palms to the touch pad and avoid reaching to the touch bar, or Siri, or TouchID. But that is not practical. Someone really screwed up on this one.

What this oversized (and totally unnecessary design) needs is the following:

> ability to turn the track pad off - maybe having a Cntl-Swipe as needed

> ability to reduce the virtual size it this thing, like one crops a photo - back to its native and completely natural size

> adjust the track pod's sensitivity so casual 'dusting' from clothing does not affect keyboard activities

> fix the 'palm touch' engine to react instantly rather than its present half-second delay

> OR are replacement track pad that downsized the thing to its original and unobtrusive parameters
