Allow preserving mouse position after releasing mouse region

[setzer22]

When I set either pad as a mouse region, the default behavior is the mouse returning to where it was before I touched the mouse region pad. This is usually the desired behavior.

However, this is inconvenient when you want to use the mouse region in order to aim in a mouse-controlled game where the character is always at the center of the screen, which is a nice use-case for this feature.

After some searching, I don't see a way to change this behaviour. Maybe a "Preserve mouse region after pad is released" toggle could be added to the mouse region menu?

Sounds possible, I'll check how to allow such configuration.

I'm gonna second this feature, it would make twin stick shooters so much easier to play.

Could this be done by using some sort of "start coordinates" variable for this function, to be set/updated whenever the pad is released? Instead of just having a "Mouse Region" option, there could be two mouse region types available. "Mouse Region: Spring Back" and "Mouse Region: Static."

• Mouse Region - Spring Back would be the default and act as "Mouse Region" does now, centered in the region, and spring back/reset to the center when the pad is released.

• Mouse Region - Static would act as setzer22 is asking for, the cursor remaining where it was when the pad was released.

Are there any plans to implement such a function? At the moment one of my configurations requires maintaining mouse cursor position when releasing input - otherwise it bugs out and causes errant drags back to whatever the original position was.
