DESCRIPTION
mousetweaks is a daemon that provides various mouse features for the GNOME desktop. It depends on the Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface (AT-SPI).

OPTIONS

--enable-dwell
    Automatically perform mouse clicks without using a physical button.

--enable-secondary
    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.

--secondary-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 dwelling mode. Available arguments are: window, gesture
    Select the active click type from a window or a panel applet. Perform clicks by moving in different directions after the cursor changes its shape.

-c, --show-ctw
    Show the click-type window. Only useful in combination with dwell-mode=window.

-x, --ctw-x=INT
    X Position of the click-type window on screen.

-y, --ctw-y=INT
    Y Position of the click-type window on screen.

-t, --threshold=INT
    Ignore small pointer movements. Range 0 - 30 pixels.

-s, --shutdown
    Stop the mousetweaks daemon.

--disable-animation
    Disable cursor animations. The animation shows the timer progress for dwell clicks and secondary clicks as cursor overlay.

--daemonize
    Start mousetweaks in the background, ie. spawn a child process.

--login
    Start mousetweaks in login mode. In login mode, mousetweaks does not check whether AT-SPI is running.

FILES
~/.mousetweaks.pid
    The daemon creates a lock file in the users home directory to keep track of its status.
