Scrolling momentum (Apple Magic Mouse)
Posted: Sun Nov 22, 2020 7:21 pm
I've just installed an Apple Magic Mouse on Windows (regular PC, not Mac) and it's working fine with XMBC.
Yet one feature request comes to my mind:
* as the mouse has a touch surface instead of a scroll wheel the usage is very much like a touch screen on a mobile phone. Thus:
* mobile phone nowadays have some momentum when scrolling -- I think Steve Jobs was very proud when he showed off that feature in the first iPhone presentation.
* so my wish is: would it be possible to have a scroll setting that produces some "momentum" function for a scroll wheel (and tilt ...). Something like: "when there are more than X scroll messages in Y ms, then have XMBC automatically produce more scroll messages with increasing time difference between then, so a momentum effect would appear."
Don't know if that's easily feasable, but I'd enjoy it pretty much . I don't know how that would work with a regular mouse with a mouse wheel, but maybe it's useful in that scenario, too.
Thanks for considering .
[I haven't been around these forums much, but I remember some sophisticated debugging support some years ago which you did, Phil, in some context of using XMBC. Thanks for that and the great work!!!]
