Synopsis
mousetweaks [–dwell] [–ssc] [–dwell-time=FLOAT] [–ssc-time=FLOAT] [-m|–dwell-mode=STRING] [-c|–show-ctw] [-t|–threshold=INT] [-g|–geometry] [-s|–shutdown] [–daemonize] [-?|–help]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.

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.
