This makes me wonder if there's already a Morse code app that lets you use the touch pad. If you're not going to use a physical key, that would seem like the next best option.

Anyone who ever typed Morse code using the real key switch knows you need to type from the wrist and that the key must have both short actuation and a bit of resistance before bottoming out. Laptop lid has neither. Utterly pointless.

Also, for those thinking of typing Morse on a touchpad, a single and simple telegraph key where you typed by pressing down on it from your wrist was outdated back in 90s when I was doing radio amateur stuff.

Check out those Iambic Paddle keys, they are a joy to type on. They do take some adjustment though since you have separate keys for dots and dashes but using thumb and index for typing is much more ergonomic than the old way.
