Mousetweaks enhances mouse accessibility on the GNOME desktop, improving user experience for individuals with physical impairments.
As a software for enhancing mouse accessibility on the GNOME desktop, Mousetweaks offers a range of features to cater to various accessibility needs.
The first of these features is a way to perform various clicks without using any hardware button. This means that users can click, double-click, and even triple-click without ever having to touch their mouse buttons.
Another feature that Mousetweaks offers is the ability to perform a right click by doing a click and hold of the left mouse button. For left-handed mouse users, this feature can be inverted to allow for ease of use.
Mousetweaks also provides an applet that can be installed on a panel to create an area in which the pointer can be captured until the user releases it with a predefined button and modifier combination.
The different options provided by Mousetweaks can be accessed through either the Accessibility tab of the Mouse Preferences of the Gnome-Control-Center or through command-line switches.
Mousetweaks comprises various components, including the mousetweaks daemon that provides enhancements 1 and 2 from the above description, the dwell-click-applet that is an optional gnome-panel applet to select click-types when using the first enhancement, and the pointer-capture-applet which provides enhancement 3 of the above description.
Overall, Mousetweaks is a highly useful software for enhancing mouse accessibility on the GNOME desktop and offers different options to cater to different usability needs.
