<title>Simulate clicking by hovering</title>

<p>You can click or drag simply by hovering your mouse pointer over a control
or object on the screen. This is useful if you find it difficult to move the
mouse and click at the same time. This feature is called Hover Click or Dwell
Click.</p>

<p>When Hover Click is enabled, you can move your mouse pointer over a control,
let go of the mouse, and then wait for a while before the button will be clicked
for you.</p>

<steps>
  <item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>Open <gui>Universal Access</gui> and select the <gui>Pointing and Clicking</gui> tab.</p></item>
  <item><p>Switch <gui>Hover Click</gui> on.</p></item>
</steps>

<p>The <gui>Hover Click</gui> window will open, and will stay above all of your
other windows. You can use this to choose what sort of click should happen when
you hover. For example, if you select <gui>Secondary Click</gui>, you will
right-click when you hover. After you double-click, right-click, or drag, you
will be automatically returned to clicking.</p>

<p>When you hover your mouse pointer over a button and don't move it, it will gradually change color. When it has fully changed color, the button will be clicked.</p>

<p>Adjust the <gui>Delay</gui> setting to change how long you have to hold the
mouse pointer still before clicking.</p>

<p>You don't need to hold the mouse perfectly still when hovering to click. The
pointer is allowed to move a little bit and will still click after a while. If it
moves too much, however, the click will not happen.</p>

<p>Adjust the <gui>Motion threshold</gui> setting to change how much the pointer
can move and still be considered to be hovering.</p>
