Automatically click objects on your Pixelbook

On your Pixelbook, you can set the cursor to automatically take action when it stops moving for a certain period of time. This feature can be helpful for users with motor impairments.

Turn on automatic clicks

  1. At the bottom right, select the time.
  2. Select Settings and then Advanced.
  3. Under “Accessibility”, select Manage accessibility features.
  4. Under “Mouse and touchpad", turn on Automatically click when the mouse cursor stops.
  5. (Optional) Customise your automatic click settings:
    • Delay before click: Choose how long your device pauses before it automatically clicks.
    • Stabilise click location: Keep your ring in one place until your cursor moves outside of it.
    • Revert to left-click after action: Automatically return to left-click after other actions, like right-click or double-click.
    • Movement threshold: To click items within a certain range, adjust the size of your ring.

To click without physically pressing your mouse or touchpad, point to the object that you want to click.

Use different types of clicks

After you turn on automatic clicks, you can customise the actions that your clicks take.

  1. At the bottom right, choose an action from the menu:
    • Left-click .
    • Right-click .
    • Double-click .
    • Click and drag .
    • Toggle menu position .
  2. Point to where you want to perform the action.
