NAME
mousetweaks - Accessibility enhancements for pointing devices 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. --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 direc- tory, the $XDG_CACHE_HOME directory is used. BUGS

NAME
mouseemu - Emulate mouse buttons and mouse wheel SYNOPSIS
mouseemu [options] DESCRIPTION
Mouseemu is a daemon to emulate mouse buttons on trackpads with only one button. It lets you: - emulate middle and right click - emulate mouse wheel - block trackpad while typing It was initially developed for Apple PowerBooks and iBooks, but it may be useful on other architectures as well. This program only works when booting a 2.6 kernel because it uses the new uinput interface to emulate the mouse. OPTIONS
-middle B2_MOD B2_KEY Modifier and key for the middle (second) mouse button. Defaults to F10 and no modifier on PowerPC and Intel Macs, and to none on all other architectures. -right B3_MOD B3_KEY Modifier and key for the right (third) mouse button. Defaults to F11 and no modifier on PowerPC and Intel Macs, and to none on all other architectures. -scroll SCROLL_MOD Modifier for the scrolling function. Defaults to Alt. -typing-block DELAY Time in milliseconds for which the trackpad will be blocked while typing on the keyboard. Defaults to 300ms. -device UINPUT Device node for the uinput device. Defaults to /dev/uinput. If this device is not read and writeable the following devices are also tried: /dev/uinput, /dev/input/uinput and /dev/misc/uinput. -nofork don't run in the background -autorescan Automatically scan every 5s for new devices. This is normally not need, as udev should inform mouseemu about new devices. -debug print debugging messages about device scans -help show usage message The key codes for the buttons and modifiers are key scancodes. They can be found in include/linux/input.h in the kernel headers or by using `showkey` in a console. The keycodes must be given as decimal values (`showkey` displays hex values!). Mouseemu does normally not automatically scan for new devices. An udev rule is used to trigger a rescan when new devices are connected. You can also trigger a rescan manually by sending a HUP signal to the mouseemu process. EXAMPLES
To have the same behaviour as in MacOS X (CTRL-click for right mouse button and no emulation for the middle button): mouseemu -middle 0 0 -right 29 272 The code for the (left) mouse button is 272 (0x110 in hex). The code for CTRL is 29. Trigger a rescan for newly attached devices: kill -HUP `cat /var/run/mouseemu.pid` AUTHOR
