Feature request: mouse click/scroll as events #1286

Closed rafaelliu closed 1 month ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Shortcuts like ctrl + mouse click or cmd + mouse scroll are a bit cumbersome with kanata tap-hold keys.

For example, when using homerow mods, one has to hold the key, wait for it’s timeout so the modifier key registers, then use the mouse. It would be nice if click/wheel scroll would act as key taps. That way, pressing a mod and clicking/scrolling would immediately register as mod + event

Describe the solution you'd like.

Interpret mouse events as key events

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Right now, AFAIK, tap-hold with mouse events require waiting for specified timeout

Depending on your OS this is already supported. Windows+LLHOOK is not supported.
