Forward mouse move without button pressed to device (original) (raw)

• I have checked that a similar feature request does not already exist.

Recently I'm implementing --forward-all-clicks option for my client, and I tried to use ACTION_HOVER_MOVE action for mouse movement events without button pressed. I was surprised that many Apps will react to it

handlePointerMove = (e: React.PointerEvent) => { this.injectTouch( e.buttons === 0 ? AndroidMotionEventAction.HoverMove : AndroidMotionEventAction.Move, e ); };

(Samsung One UI Settings)

(Google Play Store)

(Twitter, notice second bottom bar button)

It's not very useful, and I'm not actually requesting you to implement it. Just want to let you know it's possible.
