Just tried E17 for the first time. Kinda bummed that the control panel doesn't allow setting mouse acceleration threshold to 0. Also couldn't find a way to change keyboard repeat delay / rate.
Looks like more thought was put into eye candy than input dev.
- jrogers65 14y agoIt's trivially easy to change those with xset: > xset m <ACCELERATION> <THRESHOLD> and: > xset r rate <delay in milliseconds before auto repeat starts> <repeat rate per second> I'm of the opinion that it's not a window manager's job to deal with mouse acceleration or keyboard repeat rates in the first place.
- j-kidd 14y agoI can change them trivially in KDE, so there is no need to stick the commands in .xinitrc. FYI, allowing mouse acceleration threshold to be set to 0 was added in year 2003 in KDE: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31189 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31189 Anyway, I certainly agree with your opinion. It is just that I think E17 is more than a window manager, and I would place it in the same category as XFCE.
