KMouseTool's options are accessed mostly via the mouse.
Starts (or stops) KMouseTool.
The minimum movement in pixels before KMouseTool will attempt to click the mouse.
The time the mouse has to pause before KMouseTool clicks. Try increasing this time if it is hard getting used to KMouseTool
Enables or disables Smart Drag. Disabled use is easier, so this is the default.
If you enable Smart drag the Drag time (1/10 sec): field becomes available. This is the time KMouseTool waits, after it clicks down, before it clicks back up if you don't move the mouse.
KMouseTool now supports strokes. When you enable
strokes, a slow move to the right and back, followed by a pause, will
generate a click. A slow move left
and back will generate a double click. (Strokes are specified in
$
.
This file is generated by KMouseTool the first time it is run, but
can be modified afterwards.)

Plays a sound when KMouseTool clicks down. This helps, especially with Smart Drag.
If the sound seems delayed, you can have KDE speed it up. To do this open the TDE Control Center, click on , then on , and then select the Sound I/O tab. At the bottom of the tab, there is an Audio buffer size (response time) adjustment; slide this towards the lower number to speed up the audio response time.
When this is enabled, KMouseTool will start each time KDE starts. At the moment, this only works under KDE. Under GNOME or other Window Managers, see the documentation for the Window Manager itself to see how to start a program automatically when you start the windowing system.
