an input event filter to restrict or augment the mouse's buttons and scroll wheel
Does anyone know of a utility out there that will let you control and augment the way the mouse buttons and wheel behaves. The mouse wheel is tied two and sometimes three control movements, rotation for scrolling or zooming, pressing for clicking the middle button, and sometimes left and right pressing for another degree of action like horizontal scrolling. With my finger control, for example, if I'm relaxed, I might have a 50% chance of clicking the scroll wheel without scrolling off target first. So being able to lock out some of the mouse wheel capabilities easily would be useful at times. Part of what I'd like to see is an input event filter that could be access by a pop up window to restrict or augment the mouse's buttons and scroll wheel. Has anyone seen anything like this? If not would there be be anyone interested in work with me on this or more generically on a set of tools/utilities for optimizing the mouse and keyboard use by people with dexterity issues?

need audio feedback for both USB and regular keyboards
Hi, I' m looking for a way I can get some audio feedback from both the regular keyboard on my laptop and an external USB keyboard. The issue is hand finger dexterity due to CP. The noisier the keyboard the better, in fact the Teletype 33 had one the best keyboard I've ever used, but that's a few decades ago. Right now I'm just looking for a quick fix that just generates any noise when the key is pressed. Later I'd like to look at unique key signatures and something for the key press and key release, as well as other things. The laptop, currently is a IBM ThinkPad P III running Ubuntu 7.04, Feisty. Any suggestions? Oh, and is there any way of just turning off the touch pad and switches so I can just use a USB mouse?
