  <title>Switch click type</title>
  <p>This feature is especially useful to people that for some reason are able to only perform single left clicks.</p>

  <p><app>Onboard</app> can offer the possibility to translate a single left click into a middle click, right click, double click or drag click.</p>

  <p>In fact, depending on the layout used, there is a <key>Click</key> button that makes an additional column with <gui>click type buttons</gui> appear, when the user clicks on it (or when he hovers with the pointer for a little time over it).</p>

  <p>In this column, there are buttons for the various click types. If the user activates one of these <gui>click type buttons</gui>, <app>Onboard</app> will translate the next left click into a click of the type of the activated <gui>click type button</gui> and the activated <gui>click type button</gui> gets deactivated.</p>

  <note style="advanced">
    <p>In the column that appears, there also is a <key>Hover Click</key> button to enable automatic clicking in <app>Onboard</app>. Please, see the <link xref="hover-click" /> page for more information about it.</p>
