Mouse double-click min interval

Solution 1:

What you are looking for is a software debouncer.

There are two AutoHotkey solutions for Windows in this thread.

The first is a short script from a user named HotKeyIt:

LButton::   
    If (A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 150) ;hyperclick
        Return
    Click Down
    KeyWait, LButton
    Click Up
Return

And then there's a longer solution: Buggy-Mouse.ahk - Fix a buggy mouse. Stop it from double-clicking when you try to single-click.

As for Linux, you might try using IronAHK, a port of AutoHotkey for platforms with Mono support, though I'm not sure of its capabilities.

It may work in every distro if you recompile evdev and apply the patch. Below is extracted from that link:

• Get event-debounce-patch, either by copy/pasting from the original author post, or from my mirror.

• Install the source code of evdev and the build environment, and compile it. Warning: the first apt-get will install the source to a subdirectory of your current directory, so cd to something suitable first.

  apt-get source xserver-xorg-input-evdev-dev
  sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-input-evdev-dev
  cd xserver-xorg-input-evdev-2.8.2/
  patch -p 1 < ../evdev-debounce.patch
  dch -i
  debuild -us -uc -b
  cd ..
  

• This will give you a file named xserver-xorg-input-evdev_2.8.2-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb in the directory you started from. Or, x86 instead if amd64 if you’re on a 32 bit system. In case you don’t want to compile yourself, you can download the file from my mirror. This is for Ubuntu 14.04, so depending on when you read this, my file will be outdated and you have to build it yourself.

• Install this .deb file using

  sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-input-evdev_2.8.2-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
  

• Now, log out and re-login; this should start the X server and load the new package.

• Next is to configure debouncing; unconfigured, the new software doesn’t change anything. Use xinput –list to find out the ID of your mouse device – in my case it’s the Razer mouse, ID=10:

  $ xinput --list
   ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
   ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
   ⎜ ↳ Razer Razer Copperhead Laser Mouse id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
   ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
   ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
   ....
  

• When you know your mouse device id, list the properties of that device. One of the properties – typically the last one – is the new debounce delay. You’ll need its id (286 in this case):

  $ xinput --list-props 10
   .....
   Evdev Debounce Delay (286): 0
   .....
  

• Last, change the property to the maximum value to debounce. If you set this too high, a fast real double-click might be “debounced” as well – a value of 20 works well for me, if your mouse switches are worn out badly, you might want to use 50:

  $ xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=32 10 286 20
  

• Once you find a value you like, you can put the above command into your $HOME/.xprofile. Or, to install a system-wide configuration file, put the following into /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/12-evdev-debounce.conf – this file is new, and you need to be root to write it:

  Section "InputClass"
   Identifier "evdev pointer debounce"
   MatchIsPointer "on"
   MatchDriver "evdev"
   Option "DebounceDelay" "20"
   EndSection
