control mouse with keyboard and web browsing
You should be able to control the acceleration settings of the mouse in the "Mouse Keys" tab of the "Keyboard Preferences" (source):
Ubuntu 12.10
These settings are found under:
Settings > Universal Access > Pointing and Clicking > Mouse Keys (disable)
Alternatively, you may be interested in these:
keynav(sudo apt-get install keynav):Keynav makes your keyboard a fast mouse cursor mover. You can move the cursor to any point on the screen with a few key strokes. It also simulates mouse click. You can do everything mouse can do with a keyboard.
Gizmo Daemon :
Gizmod is a utility for enabling alternative input devices to be used in Linux. This includes such devices as the PowerMate USB dial, fancy keyboards and mice with buttons not recognized or supported by X. Gizmod allows per application event mappings.
I've had a problem with this ages, but finally found the solution: xkbset
From this link:
sudo apt-get install xkbset
xkbset ma [delay] [interval] [time to max] [max speed] [curve]
xkbset ma 60 10 10 20 10
Of course you can play with the values as necessary.
Solved it straight away. Hope this helps someone in future.
provided you're using Firefox, addons like these might be worth considering:
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/mouseless-browsing/
- http://elder-gods.org/lol/
which I don't use anymore (at least not currently and not in the foreseeable future)
and of course the indispensible (?) keyconfig extension:

which I've been gratefully using for donkey's years.
