Dedicated key to toggle touchpad on/off

[For the OS I’m on the Windows 11 Pro]

I’m looking for a way to quickly toggle the touchpad on/off so that I don’t accidentally move the cursor while typing.

First I thought it would be easy to remap the F12/Framework key, so I downloaded PowerToys. The Keyboard Manager was not helpful for creating a quick setting switch. It allowed me to remap keys. It also allowed me to create new shortcuts to apps or websites. But I couldn’t find a way to make a hotkey that turns the touchpad on and off via the Windows setting.

I wish there was a dedicated function key for this on the Framework keyboard. And I didn’t expect it to be difficult to create this customization. But maybe someone else figured out a way. If you did, I would be grateful if you shared your method.
