How to set the speed of a single mouse click

  • 772

If you do a slow single click on a unit launch icon or a menu item in the taskbar Ubuntu interprets this as a move rather than an open command.

I would like to increase the time threshold at which an open becomes a move.

The mouse setting allows the setting of the double click speed, how do I set the single click speed?

  1. I sure would like to change mine to ~2000ms (2 seconds). I am on LXDE.

    :)

    I figured it out. Just follow this procedure for Lubuntu (LXDE) 14.04 - https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/lubuntu:

    -From Terminal in your HOME directory(CTRL+ALT+T)

    • Create a hidden configuration file: touch ~/.gtkrc-2.0
    • Open the newly created text file with Leafpad.
    • Copy/paste the following line into the text file: gtk-double-click-time=2000
    • Save the file and close it.
    • Log out
