Mousetweaks provides mouse accessibility enhancements for the GNOME Desktop. Indeed, it offers the following functions to the user:
-
Simulated secondary click: it allows the user to perform a secondary click (menu click) by holding down the primary mouse button while keeping the pointer motionless.
-
Dwell click: it allows the user to perform the various clicks without pressing any hardware button.
-
Pointer capture: it allows the user to lock the pointer in a determined area of the panel until the user releases it by a predefined keystroke or mouse button.
Since version 2.31.3, mousetweaks does not depend any more on the
AT-SPI accessibility framework.
