DESCRIPTION
mousetweaks is a daemon that provides various mouse features for the
GNOME desktop. It depends on the Assistive Technology Service Provider
Interface (AT-SPI).
OPTIONS
- --enable-dwell
- Automatically perform mouse clicks without using a physical button.
- --enable-secondary
- Trigger the secondary mouse button when the primary mouse button is held down for a specified amount of time.
- --dwell-time=FLOAT
- Time to keep the pointer motionless before a dwell click is performed. Range: 0.2 - 3.0 seconds.
- --secondary-time=FLOAT
- Time to hold the primary mouse button before a simulated secondary click is performed. Range: 0.5 - 3.0 seconds.
- -m, --dwell-mode=STRING
- Select a dwelling mode. Available arguments are: window, gesture
- WINDOW
Select the active click type from a window or a panel applet.
- GESTURE
Perform clicks by moving in different directions after the cursor changes its shape.
- -c, --show-ctw
- Show the click-type window. Only useful in combination with dwell-mode=window.
- -x, --ctw-x=INT
- X Position of the click-type window on screen.
- -y, --ctw-y=INT
- Y Position of the click-type window on screen.
- -t, --threshold=INT
- Ignore small pointer movements. Range 0 - 30 pixels.
- -s, --shutdown
- Stop the mousetweaks daemon.
- --disable-animation
- Disable cursor animations. The animation shows the timer progress for dwell clicks and secondary clicks as cursor overlay.
- --daemonize
- Start mousetweaks in the background, ie. spawn a child process.
- --login
- Start mousetweaks in login mode. In login mode, mousetweaks does not check whether AT-SPI is running.
