Oh, you mean the laptop frame and trackpad? Anyway, I've made a diagram.

1. This is what you mean? Never happened to me.
2. Or is this it? Hard to believe, never happened.
3. This the bane of my hair, multiple times have I been stuck here.
4. This probably as well, not so sure.
5. My hand usually does not linger there, so no complaints.

Yes! I haven't thought of a solution yet, not sure also if it would be better if the gap was smaller or bigger.

For Framework I would suggest to just create a trackpad with the full width plate, possibly with a few different alignments. It would be a loss for modularity, I do understand that.

Easiest solution would be to just shave the hair, I guess? :D

As it happens, I just discovered this nice chap: https://youtube.com/@CinemaWins "Because liking things is more fun than not liking things."

What makes you say that? People of Oslo seem to differ. People of Tallinn complain about road maintenance and still ride their (e)bikes in the winter.
