Bug ID: 85536
Summary: Accessibility: dwell click implementation
Product: Wayland
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: libinput
Assignee: [email protected]

From
https://help.gnome.org/users/mousetweaks/stable/mouse-a11y-functions-description.html.en#mouse-a11y-dwell-description
"There are users that cannot use any hardware button. By activating the Dwell
Click, they can have the mouse perform the various clicks without pressing any
mouse button. The click types that can be performed are: single primary click,
double click, drag click and secondary click.
...
Each time the pointer stops moving, a dwell click is initiated."
The core is simple to implement, the tricky bit is the complex configuration
options and the feedback. From the above link "To give feedback to the user,
mousetweaks will fill the arrow of the pointer with another color while it is
counting down the time before the click completion kicks in.". This is
essentially impossible in libinput without flagging the event.
Maybe dwell click is better off as compositor option then?
