    <title>Basic usage</title>

    <p>In order to use the simulated right click, you have to first enable
    it. Please, refer to section <link xref="a11y-right-click#startstop"/>
    for instructions.</p>

    <p>To right-click with the Simulated Secondary Click, hold down the left
    mouse button where you would normally right-click, then release it. As you
    hold down the left mouse button, the pointer will gradually change color.
    After it has fully changed color, the release of the mouse button produces
    the simulated right-click.</p>

    <p>You can change how long you must hold down the left mouse button before
    it is registered as a right click. On the <gui>Pointing and Clicking</gui>
    tab, change the <gui>Acceptance delay</gui> under
    <gui>Simulated Secondary Click</gui>.</p>

    <p>Some special pointers, such as the resize pointers, do not change colors.
    You can still use the Simulated Secondary Click as normal, even if you
    don't get visual feedback from the pointer.</p>

    <p>Once the simulated right click has started, you can abort it by
    releasing the mouse button or by moving the pointer.</p>

    <p>As the simulated right click is immediately preceded by the left
    click of the long press, it does not behave exactly as a real right
    click. Please, refer to <link xref="a11y-right-click-usage-oddities"/>
    for the differences.</p>
