DESCRIPTION
mousetweaks is a collection of accessibility enhancements for pointing

Time to keep the pointer motionless before a dwell click is per-
formed. Range: 0.2 - 3.0 seconds.
--ssc-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 dwell mode. Available options: window - Select the
click type from a window or a panel applet. gesture - Perform
different clicks by moving in different directions.
-c, --show-ctw

--dwell-mode=window.
-t, --threshold=INT

-g, --geometry
Size and position of the click-type window. Expects a standard X
Window System geometry string. ie. WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y
-s, --shutdown
