Hello List ;)
I attached a screenshot of the Mouse Preferences dialog..
Honestly.. it is already reduced and still it seems overloaded to me.
The problem i found is that enabling "Locate Pointer" breaks CTRL-SCROLLING for zooming in Firefox.
Open Office doesn't have this problem with "Locate Pointer".
Obviously there is no way of grabbing an input event non exclusively.. outch.
i found this here, quite interesting conversation on the matter:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125618
does anybody know how xkbwatch handles this?
It doesn't seem to snatch the input events from the stream, it only visualizes them as they pass along.
IMO, any other approach would be unreasonable..
