It appears to be quite a demanding task to emulate the toggling of the "Finger touch" feature on Boox tablets. How demanding? Well, may be at the level of writing oneself an Android app
An outline of steps includes:
1. Identify the pattern of "intent" when the "Finger touch" setting is switched on/off;
2. Find a way to initiate such "intent" with a trigger of some sort;
3. Find a convenient way to, well, trigger the trigger event.
For step one, running
adb.exe logcat > local_log.txt will generate a long text file. I am stuck at the second step, as I cannot tell which is which among the logs. Suppose all the three steps are done, then, one can combine all into one app, where pazos offered more tips
in this post.

Until Boox implement an alternative way to toggle the "Finger Touch" setting, here is my current workaround:
1. Use
Button Mapper to assign a button on a Bluetooth clicker, to summon the notification field on a Boox device.
2. Then, tap on the icon to trigger the setting for "Finger Touch".
3. Lastly, to write again with the pen, well, tap somewhere else to dismiss the notification panel.
I find this to be an improvement over doing everything with my fingers - on Boox Lumi 2, it was a bit challenging to swipe properly from the top edge of the device to reveal the notification panel, especially when I am in the middle of writing something, thus with a pen at hand. The range of motion is just too prominent: one needs to start exactly at the very top of the device, and swipe all the way down, covering at least 1/3 of the vertical size of the tablet. On a 13.3-inch device, this is not a fun task to perform routinely.
With
Button Mapper, I can now hold the clicker in my opposite hand for triggering the notification pane. Then, it is manageable to perform two quick finger taps with a pen in my dominant hand, for toggling on/off the "Finger Touch" feature.

At this point, since palm-rejection is still barely working for OneNote when one writes continuously from left-to-right, I would urge the Boox programmer who sees this post to get us a quicker way to toggle the "Finger Touch" setting.
