Support for more mouse inputs
Hi,
I was building a m4p client for Linux (written in Go) and noticed the following events are missing:
- [ ] Mouse click (
click
) - [ ] Touch (
touchmove
,touchstart
,touchend
,touchcancel
?) - ~~Scroll (
scroll
)~~ - [ ] Scroll wheel (
wheel
)
We can easily add click and touch via event listeners.
Touch is relevant for two use-cases:
- If the remote moves slightly when pressing down the button (scroll wheel) it may result in
click
becomingtouchmove
- Performing actual touch-based "scrolling" (on the client side, these can be translated into vertical/horizontal scroll events or possibly even emulating touch)
~~Scroll is a bit harder because, unless I'm mistaken, we'd need a UI element that is scrollable in the foreground to trigger scroll
events in the browser. Currently the overlay (div
) that contains the settings button is the top-most element, scrolling events would be directed towards it (if it was scrollable). A scrollable element would have to either be above it (z-index
) or inside it.~~
~~Another option would be to look for lower level (hardware) inputs from the magic remote and get button presses and/or scroll events from there.~~
Do these features sound like a good fit for magic4pc? (I can submit some PRs once I have something working.)
