Support for Apple Pencil for virtual screen streamed to an iPad

          _(note that apple pencil input is not mapped to the dummy, that would need further development and is out of scope for now)._

A few years ago you mentioned this. Would it be possible for you to implement this? It would make a big difference in terms of usability. Thanks.

Hi there - I know, but currently this is not planned as it would require a different approach than the current one. Maybe with a dedicated iPad app it would be possible. I'll leave this here as an enhancement request for the future.

Hi! I would ask the same question, how I see it's technically not possible to stream a virtual screen and listen for touch events, so there is no way how I can use iPad vertically and use Apple Pencil?

I can go with sidecar and horizontal view with touch support or vertical with virtual screen and without touch support, and atm there is no other solutions on the market, right?

*With separate app I think will be no way to use the sidecar feature? I see this variant something like a team viewer, but sidecar is the feature which I don't want to lose, tbh I want just Apple make option for Vertical Screen.....just why Apple, why u can't?

Yes, this is the current state of affairs. 😞
