Dear reader,
After so many months, there is a new release of mousetweaks available, namely version 3.3.90, that can be downloaded from:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/mousetweaks/3.3/
=====================
What is mousetweaks ?
=====================
The Mousetweaks package provides mouse accessibility enhancements for
the GNOME desktop. These enhancements are created by a daemon and they
consist of:
1. A way to perform the various clicks without using any hardware
button. There are two methods to control what click-type should be
automatically performed:
- by choosing the next click-type in the click-type window
- by performing a determined gesture after the dwell timout
2. A way to perform a right click by doing a click&hold of the left
mousebutton. (For a left-handed mouse user, the termes left and right
have to be inverted.)
Both features can be started in GNOME 3 by using the Universal Access panel
of the System Settings. But there is not a graphical interface for all the
options of mousetweaks. The graphical interface, apart the click-type
window, is not part of the mousetweaks package.
Mousetweaks also offers a command line interface and a dbus interface.
The latter can be especially interesting for other distributions, that
want to provide a different graphical interface to control the features
of the mousetweaks daemon.
