The type of click may optionally be set beforehand (Alt-B) with the ClickType floating window (Alt-W) or Dwell Click panel applet. The click-type can be single, double, drag or right. Lastly, mouse direction movement can also specify the click type to be issued (Alt-U) - eg, moving the mouse left will result in a single click by default, or you may specify which direction equals what type of click. + + +The two available operating modes may be summarized as follows: + + +Choose type of click beforehand (Alt-B) - the click type selected in the ClickType floating window (Alt-W) or the Dwell Click applet is automatically issued after the given delay. + + +Choose type of click with mouse movement (Alt-U) - at the end of the given delay, the shape of the pointer turns into a cross. If the user moves the pointer while it is showing the cross, the direction of the movement specifies what click type is issued and triggers the click. If the user does not move the pointer while it is showing a cross (which lasts only a short time) it turns back to its arrow shape and no automatic click is performed for that move-stop cycle. + +

For example, if the Ctrl modifier key is checked, the pointer gets captured when it is over the capture area and the user presses the Ctrl modifier key. If no modifier is checked and the mouse button is set to 0, the pointer only has to move into the capture area to get locked. It is also possible to specify a combination of modifiers with the chosen mouse button. + + +In the Release Pointer section, the user can specify what modifier or mouse button releases the pointer.
