This isn't input-remapper's fault per se but it took some time to troubeshoot until I found the right resource and since it has something to do with input-remapper, I wanted to share my solution here for visibility. If you think this problem isn't too niche, it might be a good idea to document it somewhere in the project?
I'm using input-remapper on my laptop in order to use a custom keyboard layout. As a result, the rebound keypresses are detected as coming from another device than the original, internal keyboard.
In order for the "disable while typing" option to work, libinput has to detect one of the following cases (source):
The keyboard and touchpad are both “internal” devices (i.e. not plugged in via USB), or
The keyboard and touchpad IDs match (i.e. their vendor ID, product ID are the same) and can be treated as a pair.
So, the fix is to register the input-remapper keyboard device as internal. The linked source explains how and I'll list my steps here, too.
Identify the right keyboard event
Run $ libinput debug-events
Press a rebound key with the input-remapper preset active
Note the eventXY that pops up
Identify the right name
Run $ libinput list-devices
Find the device with the same eventXY. For me, it was
