DESCRIPTION

mousetweaks is a collection of accessibility enhancements for pointing devices. This manual page describes the mousetweaks daemon.

OPTIONS

--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.

FILES

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.
