Palm detection troubleshooting with libinput 1.11

I submitted a bug report to some libinput peeps, Cursor jumps on Lenovo W541 with i3, Xorg during typing.

[Now] that 1.11 is out we have a new tool to help with exactly this kind of bug, the best thing to do is to grab libinput from git and build it locally. No need to install for this particular test. Then run libinput-record with this command:

sudo ./builddir/libinput-record --with-libinput --multiple --autorestart 2 -o recording.yml /dev/input/event3 /dev/input/event4

Replace the event nodes with the one from your keyboard and your touchpad. If arch already has 1.11 just use libinput-record from the system install.

This version was recently added to Arch repos on 6/8.

Still, the command is not found

> sudo libinput-record
zsh: libinput-record: command not found

Any suggestions?
