accidentally disable touchpad ubuntu 20.04

The shortcut for disabling the touchpad (Fn+F6) is not working on my computer. But it doesn't matter and I never try to fix it.

Unfortunately, my toddler accidentally disabled the touchpad while he randomly push the keyboard.

I check the settings (gnome-control-center), such as shown in this answer: the touchpad is ACTIVE. enabling-disabling from control-center doesn't work.

I check the keyboard shortcut list: there is no shortcut for the touchpad. I tried FN+ F1 to F12, it doesn't work.

Can anyone help me with this problem? Many thanks.

Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS Gnome: 3.36.8 PC: Lenovo ideapad

Here is the result of xinput (just in case):

does `xinput --list 11` output anything relevant?

The guideline in the link below worked for me. https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/keyboard-shortcut-for-touchpad/12114/13

That may well be an answer but what when the link no longer works? Therefore link only answers are not considered answers.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
