footmouse
Allows Linux users to use a HID compatible USB foot pedal as a mouse
... some function or other, Footmouse does away with the proprietary software and allows you to assign Mouse commands to a pedal or a pedal with a modifier key. All functions can be assigned as you require.
Designed principally to help people who have difficulty operating a Mouse but able to operate a foot pedal.
By its very nature, moving about the screen is slow compared with using a mouse but it does the job, if you can't use a mouse.
Note: new VEC Infinity in-USB3 foot pedal not supported.
