# kmousetool(1)

Accessibility tool to help click the mouse

## NAME

kmousetool - Accessibility tool to help click the mouse

## SYNOPSIS

**kmousetool**

## DESCRIPTION

KMouseTool clicks the mouse whenever the mouse cursor pauses briefly. It was designed to help those with repetitive strain injuries, for whom pressing buttons hurts.

KMouseTool can also be configured to wait for a specified time for a drag to begin, before unclicking the mouse. This way, you can use it for drag and drop operations as well.

## SEE ALSO
