graphics\howbutt.gifCustomizing keyboard and mouse buttons

You can turn the keyboard repeat option off, so that when you press and hold a key on the keyboard, the character or action of the key occurs only once. If you turn keyboard repeat on, when you press and hold a key, the character or action (for example, ENTER) occurs repeatedly. You can adjust key click volume, which is the volume of feedback when you press a key.

Some third-party applications require complete control of the right mouse button when they are running. When a third-party application takes control of the right mouse button, right-clicking performs actions which are different from those you have set in the Corel LINUX Control Center. You can set an option so a third-party application controls the right mouse button when it runs. You can also let Corel LINUX maintain control of the right mouse button.

The mouse buttons can perform different actions depending on where in a window the cursor is pointing. You can choose what action the window performs when clicked using each of the mouse buttons. For example, you can set the mouse actions so that when you right-click the Title Bar or frame of a window, the window goes to the back, behind other open windows; or, when you left-click the inner part of an inactive window, the window is activated and raised to the top. Actions available include raise, lower, operations menu, toggle raise and lower, activate, pass click, move, resize, and nothing. You can apply each action to the right mouse button or the left mouse button, and to different parts of the window.

Mouse acceleration refers to the speed that the cursor moves when you move the mouse. A lower mouse acceleration value makes the cursor move slowly. The mouse acceleration threshold is the distance in pixels that the cursor must move before accelerated movement occurs. The lower the threshold, the more quickly the cursor responds to mouse movement. For example, a high acceleration value combined with a low threshold value means that a small mouse movement makes the cursor move a great distance quickly. A high threshold value combined with a low acceleration value requires a large mouse movement to move the cursor.

You can change the button mapping of the mouse so that the left mouse button performs the right-click action, and the right mouse button performs the left-click action.
