Resources for controlling Desktop mouse behavior

The following resources control several aspects of a mouse's behavior when it is used with xdt3. Also refer to ``Configuring mouse behavior'' for more information on using these resources.

Mouse behavior resources

Name Class Value type Default
triggers.maxMotion Triggers.MaxMotion pixels 3
triggers.maxUpTime Triggers.Time milliseconds 500
triggers.thresholdDownTime Triggers.Time milliseconds 700

These resources are described in more detail below:

triggers.maxMotion (Class: Triggers.MaxMotion)
This resource controls the number of pixels the mouse pointer must move before a mouse button click is interpreted as a drag action. The default value is 3 pixels.

triggers.maxUpTime (Class: Triggers.Time)
This resource controls the length of time, in milliseconds, that a mouse button must be up before a trigger ends. The default value is 500 milliseconds.

triggers.thresholdDownTime (Class: Triggers.Time)
This resource controls the time, in milliseconds, that a mouse button must be pressed before a click is considered a ``long click'' rather than a ``short click.'' The default value is 700 milliseconds.
