Onboard might be offering what you are looking for: if you use the Compact or Full layout shipping with Onboard, there is a button to make click buttons appear, that allows you to change the behaviours of the clicks.
A click on the click button showing a hand enables the drag mode by click: the next click initiates dragging without having to keep the mouse button down. The drag procedure ends when the pointer stops moving. (Older versions of Onboard required a second click to terminate the dragging procedure, but this had to be changed to work around a bug.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mousetweaks in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/718559 Title: mousetweak5 not implemented / LockedDrags supprt Status in “mousetweaks” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: mousetweaks Expectation: --------------- An option in Ubuntu's mouse accessibility panel for locked dragging. Ie, if on, a click and drag gesture is active until you tap a second time. Current reality: ------------------ There is no such option in 10.04 or 10.10 in the mouse accessibility panel. This is an essential feature for many disabled users, an example is here: <http://askubuntu.com/q/24558/8515>. The closest I've come to replicating the desired behaviour is with evdev's DragLockButtons, which sacrifices a mouse button and requires twice as many clicks. Incidentally, the synaptics driver has LockedDrags which is exactly what I want, but for a normal mouse or trackball. It looks like mousetweak5 implements, or is supposed to implement, this feature.
