linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – I received an email suggesting that I post something in LQ.org, well here goes. I am arthritic and I have considerable difficulty with a double click. I also have difficulty when using a mouse of moving the mouse as I select something (click the button) from whatever window I am working with and thereby selecting the wrong thing. To compensate for this difficulty, I use a Logitech trackball and program the center button to perform a double click with one stroke. I am currently struggling with Linux Mint 9 in my search for a Windows alternative. Is there any way to program my ce (HowTos)

Hi , Ever since I upgraded to Fedora 17 from Fedora 14, single clicking my mouse has become very difficult. Single click registers as a double click 70% of times. All the settings that I see have to do with delay between 2 clicks to be considered a double click, but here I am not making 2 clicks.

Did Linux lose the click wars? 3 years 24 weeks ago

I recall earlier Linux distributions where almost every application worked by using a single left mouse click. Documentation commonly chided people not to double click. The implication was that if you double clicked then you were a windows Neanderthal.

GTK3 double-click speed 15 weeks 5 hours ago

Hi all, how are you?I am running the Awesome WM which does not have its own sitting for mouse double-click speed. Insuch situations you have to set the double-click speed through whichever tool-kit the applicationyou are using is based upon. For GTK2 apps this is not a problem, I simply placegtk-double-click-time=1000 into ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and I am good to go.

I'm using Lubuntu 11.10. The only problem I have that the mouse double click speed is a bit high (it seems to me that it is around 100-200ms) and I would like it to set it to around 500ms. Is there a way to do it? I tried using Openbox Configuration Manager but that only changes the double click speed for window headers. But in PCManFM for example it is still around 200ms.

Basically what happens is this: I open VLC and go to my playlist and there are tons of folders there. I double-click on one and its icon changes to a folder icon and a plus sign appears next to it, but it stays closed. Then I need to double-click again to see what songs are in it.

Is this normal? On Ubuntu 11.10 I didn't have this problem, but now on my Linux Mint 14 Mate...I do.

Avoid very fast double clicks 43 weeks 5 days ago

I have a mouse with a strange problem. The left button sometimes fires a double click even if I click just one time. I would like to know if there's a way to avoid fast double clicks, ignoring clicks with a interval lower than a defined value. I'm using Fedora 15. Thanks in advance.
