[Feature Request] Register mouse clicks within the window #13

First of all: GREAT JOB! This app is an invaluable when I work on ultra wide monitors with ratio such as 32:9 and need to share a couple of apps along each other :)

Now back to business ;)

Problem Statement Time and time, when I use the app, I'm not sure, if my cursor is hoovering over virtual display, or over the DeskPad window on my real display.

I regularly try to click something over the DeskPad window and get frustrated that apps are unresponsive :)

Suggested solution Can you translate bounds(X,Y) clicks on the DeskPad App Window, to the frame(X,Y) location on the virtual display? This would probably require accessibility permission so it could be opt-in feature in the options, to not trigger permissions alert for everybody.

Next step would be to support drag and drop, etc, but simple single clicks would be a huge improvement over nothing.

Alternative solution would be to (right after click on the window) "teleport" the cursor to the virtual display to the click location, and then do the click. This way, drag and drop, and all features would work by themselves.

Thanks in advance!
