Conflicts with Other Tools

Running LinguaX alongside other mouse utilities or input automation tools can cause conflicting behavior. Because several tools can all intercept the same low-level mouse and keyboard events, only one should own each responsibility.

Mouse Tool Conflicts​

Tools like Logi Options+, Mos, LinearMouse, BetterMouse, and Mac Mouse Fix also hook into scrolling, button mapping, and pointer behavior. Running them at the same time as LinguaX can produce:

  • scrolling that double-smooths, stutters, or feels inverted
  • side-button or gesture actions firing twice, or one tool overriding the other
  • pointer speed that fights between two tools
  • a button that works in one app but not another, because another tool claims it first

Isolation Test (Mouse)​

  1. Quit other mouse utilities (including ones running only in the menu bar or as login items).
  2. Keep only LinguaX running.
  3. Test smooth scrolling, one side-button mapping, and one gesture.

If behavior stabilizes, a mouse-tool conflict is likely.

Mitigation (Mouse)​

  • Choose one tool as the source of truth for each responsibility:
    • smooth scrolling owned by one tool only
    • button/gesture mapping owned by one tool only
    • pointer speed owned by one tool only
  • In the other tool, disable the overlapping feature rather than the whole app, if you still need its other features.
  • Avoid mapping the same button to actions in two tools at once.

Input Method Tool Conflicts​

Running multiple input automation tools (other IME switchers or input automation utilities) can cause:

  • input source flips unexpectedly
  • rules feel delayed or inconsistent
  • behavior differs by app without clear logic

Isolation Test (Input)​

  1. Quit other IME/automation tools.
  2. Keep only LinguaX running.
  3. Test one app rule and one browser domain rule.

If behavior stabilizes, an input-tool conflict is likely.

Mitigation (Input)​

  • Choose one tool as the source of truth for input switching.
  • Disable overlapping automation in other tools.
  • Avoid duplicate rules across tools.

Recovery Sequence​

This order works for both mouse and input conflicts:

  1. Simplify LinguaX to a minimal baseline (one mapping, or one app/domain rule).
  2. Confirm the baseline is stable on its own.
  3. Re-enable other tools one by one.
  4. Stop when the conflict reappears, and narrow that tool's scope (disable just the overlapping feature).
