Have you tried rtfm? man xset

• nhaehnle 9y ago
  Aside from the unnecessary snarkiness, here's my main reason for downvoting you: Even somebody who is familiar with the concept of man pages would have no chance of knowing that xset is the one to look for. Discoverability is super important. Luckily, the kind of desktops people actually use tend to have a System Settings app in which mouse acceleration can be figured.

    Didcovdrability isn't great, but eg: "apropos input" suggest "man xinput" and a quick search points to acceleration along with a pointer to the "xset(1) man page". Unfortunately it looks like the path from "apropos mouse" might be a bit more convoluted.

    Totally agree. This is a problem I have in general with linux - you don't know what you don't know, and using man to find a command to do the thing you need is akin to using a dictionary to find a word to describe a definition you have.

    I am going to double down on the snark then. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=linux+mouse+settings http://lmgtfy.com/?q=linux+mouse+settings But seriously. The OP spend more time whining online about this than it would have taken him to just google it. I am certain that if I needed to do the same in windows http://lmgtfy.com/?q=windows+mouse+settings http://lmgtfy.com/?q=windows+mouse+settings Would be the way to go.
