Feature suggestion: Absolute positioning for Touchscreen

Open Diamantaeres opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

Hello there!

I have installed and tested this version of Moonlight and I am on my New 3DS and I am astonished of the results! It wprks really well on the device, despite its limitations.

The thing I like more is the way the touchscreen is used as a touchpad. In two minutes, I naturally got inclined to it and I started to use it spontaneously without even thinking of it.

So, I want to ask you to consider an option that is my favorite one in other versions of the app: the possibility to have an option to enable an absolute positioning mode for the touchscreen, meaning that instead of moving the pen to move the mouse around, the points you touch/click matches the respective position on the screen.

I want you to evaluate if this worth it, because there might be some pro and cons.

Pro: You can directly interact with the elements on screen, as the fact itself you touch them equals to a click (including the opportunity to drag the elements or select areas), instead of moving around and then clicking.

Con: As there are two screen - and obviously the stream is shown on the upper, which is not touch, as it's the bigger - it might not very intuitive that the lower screen works in this way while being black, so it might be necessary to duplicate the screen on both of them, which might consume more resources I guess.

Thank you for your time and best regards.
