Just sharing this with everyone since it's been extremely helpful for me.
I use a head mouse to move the cursor, and foot pedals for the mouse clicks. A problem I was having was that when trying to click on something, I couldn't always keep my head steady enough when trying to click the foot pedal fast enough... so it thought I was trying to drag something.
I came across this cool free program called Autohotkey (you can do an Internet search for it) that allows you to remap keyboard, mouse, or joystick events. So I came up with this very short script to make the mouse click when I push the foot pedal down, regardless of how long I keep the pedal down. When I actually want to drag something, I use the ClickAid software. It could be used for anything that generates mouse clicks... not just foot pedals.
The file I'm attaching is named MouseClick.txt, but to use it after downloading it would need to be renamed to MouseClick.ahk.
I don't know if this will help anyone else... but there you have it.
