Thanks. The big trackball looks like it might be difficult to try before
you buy as the links suggest they're across the Atlantic. Keyboards
don't solve the mouse problem, but I will suggest it.

Holes above the *keys*. Sorry.

Thanks. It might be possible to insert this kind of thing into the users
browser, but that leaves all other applications with the same problem,
the crucial one being the onscreen keyboard.

In CSS can you use the code that makes a border around the text, so
as well as the actual visible link text there is a border you can't
see round the side, if you use a:hover then you can change the link
text too, so it changes colour when in the r

After doing some more digging the libinput "DragLockButtons" option may
help with this:

That'll solve the problem for a file manager, but there is another
related problem which it won't solve. When the mouse moves after the
button down of a single click in e.g. Firefox the link can move instead
of registering a click. Getting the mouse button down and up in a short

I'm trying to solve a problem with double clicking the mouse for someone
with jittery hand movements. The problem is that there is usually enough
movement between their first and second clicks of a double click that it

With the ps command, I'm setting COLUMNS, not PAGER. Sorry for the
confusion.
The java processes I want to monitor have long command lines, so I set the
command to show 1000 columns so it doesn't truncate the output.

I made a donation to Ubuntu. Please, I have a

My mouse doesn't move. I only see the cursor but it
