Mouse cursor "touch mode"?

[brad3260]

Hello all, I am a noob to Android, and to cell phones in general. Here's a quick synopsis of my situation.

I have cerebral palsy that effects my fine motor skills (fingers) and just recently discovered I can plug a USB mouse and keyboard into a phone and operate the phone that way. That's why I'm a noob to cell phones.

My question is, is there a way to put the mouse cursor into a "touch mode"? For example, I want to move the caption on Snapchat and I would think I could just click and drag it but when I do that, it just lets me edit the caption. I'm betting this is because Android differentiates between mouse clicks and finger taps? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

I have no experience with Snapchat but I wonder if a programmable mouse would be of any help for you, definitely something worth looking into.
The community/forum is quite big so I'm sure you are not the only person with cerebral palsy around here

Thank you for the response. What do you mean by programmable mouse?

I was thinking along the lines of a mouse for gaming with extra buttons, I'm no expert on them as I don't do gaming but I thought it would be worth looking into
