Setting the dwell memory time on mouse selection

Using dwell memory time, you can set the delay after which dwell time is saved in memory. This option can be set for users struggling to remain on a cell with the mouse pointer for the entire dwell time.

For example, the dwell time needed to continue with selection is set to 2 seconds and the dwell time memory is set to 1 second. The user places the mouse pointer on cell A for 1.5 seconds. This time (1.5 seconds) is greater than the set dwell memory time (1 second), so the amount of time (1.5 seconds) is stored in memory. Then the user places the mouse pointer on cell B for 0.5 seconds. This time (0.5 seconds) is less than the dwell memory time (1 second) and is therefore not stored in memory. Then, the user puts the mouse back on cell A for more than 0.5 seconds. Cell A is selected. So, the user has placed the pointer on cell A for more than 2 seconds in total, of which 1.5 seconds was stored in memory in the first action.
