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 but‐
              ton.

       --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 per‐
              formed.  Range: 0.2 - 3.0 seconds.

       --secondary-time=FLOAT
              Time  to  hold  the primary mouse button before a simulated sec‐
              ondary click is performed. Range: 0.5 - 3.0 seconds.

       -m, --dwell-mode=STRING
              Select a dwelling mode. Available arguments are: window, gesture

              WINDOW
                   Select the active click type  from  a  window  or  a  panel
                   applet.

              GESTURE
                   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  over‐
              lay.

       --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.
