List of currently available matches.

MatchName, MatchUniq

Match on the NAME or UNIQ udev property on this device. These properties are typically derived from the device’s kernel name or uniq. These matches use fnmatch() globs.

MatchBus

A lower-case bus name. Currently supported are usb, bluetooth, ps2, rmi, i2c, and spi.

MatchVendor, MatchProduct, MatchVersion

The hexadecmial 4-digit vendor ID, product ID or driver version as exported, without a 0x prefix.

MatchDMIModalias, MatchDeviceTree

An fnmatch() glob for the DMI modalias or the DeviceTree compatible string.

MatchDevType

One of touchpad, mouse, pointingstick, keyboard, joystick, tablet, tablet-pad. Only touchpad and mouse types are supported.

List of currently available Moused tags.

MousedGrabDevice

Only for evdev interface. Become the sole recipient of all incoming input events. This prevents other processes from getting input events on the device.

Use -g option alternatively.

MousedIgnoreDevice

Ignore given device.

MousedClickThreshold

Set double click speed as the maximum interval in msec between button clicks. Without this option, the default value of 500 msec will be assumed. This option will have effect only on the cut and paste operations in the text mode console. The user program which is reading mouse data via sysmouse(4) will not be affected.

Use -C option alternatively.

MousedEmulateThirdButton

Emulate the third (middle) button for 2-button mice. It is emulated by pressing the left and right physical buttons simultaneously.

Use -3 option alternatively.

MousedEmulateThirdButtonTimeout

When the third button emulation is enabled (see above), the moused(8) utility waits MousedEmulateThirdButtonTimeout msec at most before deciding whether two buttons are being pressed simultaneously. The default timeout is 100 msec.

Use -E option alternatively.

MousedLinearAccelX

 

MousedLinearAccelY

 

MousedLinearAccelZ

Accelerate or decelerate the mouse input. This is a linear acceleration only. Values less than 1.0 slow down movement, values greater than 1.0 speed it up.

You can use the MousedLinearAccel and MousedExponentialAccel options at the same time to have the combined effect of linear and exponential acceleration.

Use -a option alternatively.

MousedExponentialAccel

 

MousedExponentialOffset

Apply exponential (dynamic) acceleration to mouse movements: the faster you move the mouse, the more it will be accelerated. That means that small mouse movements are not accelerated, so they are still very accurate, while a faster movement will drive the pointer quickly across the screen.

The MousedExponentialAccel value specifies the exponent, which is basically the amount of acceleration. Useful values are in the range 1.1 to 2.0, but it depends on your mouse hardware and your personal preference. A value of 1.0 means no exponential acceleration. A value of 2.0 means squared acceleration (i.e. if you move the mouse twice as fast, the pointer will move four times as fast on the screen). Values beyond 2.0 are possible but not recommended. A good value to start is probably 1.5.

The optional MousedExponentialOffset value specifies the distance at which the acceleration begins. The default is 1.0, which means that the acceleration is applied to movements larger than one unit. If you specify a larger value, it takes more speed for the acceleration to kick in, i.e. the speed range for small and accurate movements is wider. Usually the default should be sufficient, but if you're not satisfied with the behaviour, try a value of 2.0.

Note that the -A option interacts badly with the X server's own acceleration, which doesn't work very well anyway. Therefore it is recommended to switch it off if necessary: “xset m 1”.

Use -A option alternatively.

MousedMapZAxis

Map Z axis (roller/wheel) movement to another axis or to virtual buttons. Does not supported yet. Use -z option instead.

MousedVirtualScrollEnable

Enable “Virtual Scrolling”. With this option set, holding the middle mouse button down will cause motion to be interpreted as scrolling. Use the MousedVirtualScrollThreshold option to set the distance the mouse must move before the scrolling mode is activated and the MousedVirtualScrollSpeed option to set the scrolling speed.

Use -V option alternatively.

MousedHorVirtualScrollEnable

Enable “Horizontal Virtual Scrolling”. With this option set, holding the middle mouse button down will cause motion to be interpreted as horizontal scrolling. Use the MousedVirtualScrollThreshold option to set the distance the mouse must move before the scrolling mode is activated and the MousedVirtualScrollSpeed option to set the scrolling speed. This option may be used with or without the MousedVirtualScrollEnable option.

Use -H option alternatively.

MousedVirtualScrollSpeed= distance

When “Virtual Scrolling” is enabled, the MousedVirtualScrollSpeed option can be used to set the distance (in pixels) that the mouse must move before a scroll event is generated. This effectively controls the scrolling speed. The default distance is 2 pixels.

Use -L option alternatively.

MousedVirtualScrollThreshold= distance

When “Virtual Scrolling” is enabled, the MousedVirtualScrollThreshold option can be used to set the distance (in pixels) that the mouse must move before the scrolling mode is activated. The default distance is 3 pixels.

Use -U option alternatively.

MousedWMode= N

Make the physical button N act as the wheel mode button. While this button is pressed, X and Y axis movement is reported to be zero and the Y axis movement is mapped to Z axis. You may further map the Z axis movement to virtual buttons by the MousedMapZAxis tag.

Use -w option alternatively.

List of currently available Moused mice specific tags.

MousedDriftTerminate

 

MousedDriftDistance

 

MousedDriftTime

 

MousedDriftAfter

Terminate drift. Use this option if mouse pointer slowly wanders when mouse is not moved. Movements up to MousedDriftDistance (for example 4) pixels (X+Y) in MousedDriftTime msec (default 500) are ignored, except during MousedDriftAfter msec (default 4000) since last real mouse movement.

Use -T option alternatively.

List of currently available Moused touchpad specific tags.

MousedTwoFingerScroll

Enable two finger scrolling.

MousedNaturalScroll

Enable natural scrolling.

MousedThreeFingerDrag

MousedSoftButton3X

Horizontal position of 3-rd softbutton left edge in percents. (0-disable)

MousedSoftButtonsY

Vertical size of softbuttons area in percents. Use negative values to place softbutton area at top of touchpad.

MousedTapTimeout

Tap timeout in milliseconds

MousedTapPressureThreshold

Pressure threshold to detect tap.

MousedTapMaxDelta

Length of finger movement above which a tap is ignored measured in mm.

MousedTapholdTimeout
