An option to make the EDMC window inert #889

Open D33pfield opened 3 years ago

Describe the enhancement

A option to toggle the EDMC window inert (non-clickable/click through) while always on top.

Expected behavior

While interacting with anything in game that requires the use of the mouse, sometimes the cursor gets over the top of EDMC and blocks clicks on Elite. This is especially an issue while using the FSS scanner as you swipe the mouse across often and when you go to zoom into a signal it will click on the EDMC window sometimes hitting a button. EDMC should not interfere with gameplay of Elite while being used with Always on top active

In transparent mode a good chunk of the window is already inactive (on windows) I believe

Testing this on Windows 10, 'Always on top' and the Transparent theme... sort of.

If you mouse-over any of the 'active' parts of the EDMC window then it reacts. If the mouse is anywhere 'in' the window but not on one of those, it doesn't.

Now, to actually implement it being fully inert would require some method to get it back out of that state. Probably an additional hotkey.
