mousetweaks is a collection of accessibility enhancements
for pointing devices. This manual page describes the mousetweaks daemon.
- --dwell
- Automatically perform mouse clicks without using a physical button.
- --ssc
- 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.
- --ssc-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 dwell mode. Available options: window - Select the click
type from a window or a panel applet. gesture - Perform different
clicks by moving in different directions.
- -c, --show-ctw
- Show the click-type window. Only useful in combination with
--dwell-mode=window.
- -t,
--threshold=INT
- Ignore small pointer movements. Range: 0 - 30 pixels.
- -g, --geometry
- Size and position of the click-type window. Expects a standard X Window
System geometry string. ie. WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y
- -s, --shutdown
- Stop the mousetweaks daemon.
- --daemonize
- Start mousetweaks in the background, ie. spawn a child process.
- --login
- Start mousetweaks in login mode. Login mode enables workarounds specific
to GDM. Currently unused.
mousetweaks.pid
The daemon creates a lock file in the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
directory to keep track of its state. On systems with no user runtime
directory, the $XDG_CACHE_HOME directory is used.
