The Hover Click on the GNOME Desktop can be enabled resp. disabled by setting the corresponding gsettings key to true resp. false. Here are the commands to enter in a shell:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.mouse dwell-click-enabled true

respectively:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.mouse dwell-click-enabled false

Moreover, the daemon that implements the Hover Click and the Simulated Secondary Click, offers a command line interface. The Hover Click can for example also be started directly by calling the daemon with the "--dwell" option:

mousetweaks --dwell

Note:

When the Hover Click is started by calling mousetweaks directly, the GNOME Desktop is not aware of the running Hover Click. Thus, there will for example not be any feedback about it in its graphical user interface.

The direct way of starting the Hover Click can be interesting for environments not based on GNOME.
