What's New in Accessibility
GNOME has a passion for making software available to everyone, including users and developers with impairments that can make it harder to use their computers. In order to make it easier for those with disabilities to use their computer, GNOME created the GNOME Accessibility Project and an accessibility framework that is now a standard in free software.
GNOME 2.32 continues to build on its prior accessibility capabilities with several improvements.
- 3.1. Mousetweaks
3.1. Mousetweaks
Mousetweaks makes it easier to use a mouse for those users who may have limited mobility. Using Mousetweaks you can use the left mouse button to do both left and right mouse clicks. For example, you open a menu by pressing and holding the left mouse button. Mousetweaks also helps make it easier to left click, double click, drag and right click for users who cannot manipulate buttons well.
Mousetweaks has updated documentation including an updated manual and man pages so users can now see all the options they have and look up how things are supposed to work.
For developers, Mousetweaks no longer depends on the AT-SPI framework or dbus-glib and the daemon and dwell click have been migrated to GDBus. Mousetweaks no longer uses the gconf keys and can now be compiled with -DGSEAL_ENABLED which requires GTK 2.18 or higher.
