Automatic mouse click

[melis...@gmail.com]

Are there any plans to add a feature to have mouse automatically click after it stops moving (after a delay, of course). Can I file a bug for this?

Ubunutu has this accessibility feature: http://askubuntu.com/questions/38254/how-to-disable-on-mouse-stop-auto-click

Feel free to file a bug. It might be possible to implement this feature as an extension.

I wasn't sure how to mark this as an accessibility bug. Thanks.

You said "part of the OS" - were you suggesting this as a Chrome OS feature, or a Chrome feature on all platforms?

[melis...@gmail.com]

Good question. I hadn't thought about that. My only thought was that an extension seems too cpu-intensive.

So this feature is available on all platforms except Chrome OS. For all other platforms I can either download software (Mac, Windows) or this feature is built into the OS (Ubuntu).

From a user point of view, I think Chrome OS would make more sense. If a user wants this feature, they want it for the whole OS, not just the Chrome browser.

Sounds good, I filed it as a Chrome OS feature request. It seems reasonable to me.
