The Simulated Secondary 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 secondary-click-enabled true

respectively:

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

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

mousetweaks --ssc

Note:

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

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