Most laptops have a key combination (usually some Fn-thing) to enable/disable the touchpad. But not all of them. My Lenovo Yoga L13, for example, doesn't have one. This extension just enables/disables the touchpad; by default, it restores the touchpad in the enabled state when you logout and login, but you can choose just to remember the old state in the options.

If you are stuck without mouse or touchpad, open a terminal window or the command prompt of gnome-shell (with Alt-F2) and type
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/touchpad/send-events true
...and you'll have your touchpad back.
