💖 mousetweaks(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the mousetweaks(1) page, straight outta the General Commands Manual ✨ this is the one about making your pointing device (mouse, trackpad, whatever cute thing you're using) way more accessible 🫶

🌸 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 literally a whole collection of accessibility enhancements for pointing devices, no cap 🎀 and this manual page right here? it's describing the mousetweaks daemon specifically, so that's the main character of this page 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --dwell — automatically perform mouse clicks without you having to press a physical button at all. the mouse just... clicks itself. iconic ✨
• --ssc — trigger the secondary mouse button when the primary mouse button is held down for a specified amount of time. one button, two jobs, she's versatile 💖
• --dwell-time=FLOAT — how long the pointer has to stay completely motionless before a dwell click happens. Range: 0.2 - 3.0 seconds.
• --ssc-time=FLOAT — how long you hold the primary mouse button before a simulated secondary click fires off. Range: 0.5 - 3.0 seconds.
• -m, --dwell-mode=STRING — pick your dwell mode, bestie. the available options are:
  • 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 (iykyk) 👀
• -t, --threshold=INT — ignore small pointer movements. Range: 0 - 30 pixels. tiny lil jitters don't count 🙈
• -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. bye bestie 👋
• --daemonize — start mousetweaks in the background, ie. spawn a child process. she's doing her own thing now 🌈
• --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 instead. she needs a lil home to remember herself, periodt 🏠
