Request to add an option that can disable the mouse acceleration [enhancement] #460

## Description I'm a paid user, and like the Mac mouse fix very much; I have recommended many people to use it(https://v2ex.com/t/900408). I hope you can add one option to version 3: the user can disable the mouse acceleration.

Rationale

"Mouse acceleration makes the pointer move faster, but not everyone wants that. Here's why it can be helpful to disable the feature.

To be more precise when drawing. If you sketch designs out on your Mac, mouse acceleration can make it hard to be accurate. Nothing will compare to a stylus, but lowering or disabling mouse acceleration can help. To improve gaming performance. If you play games like Fortnite on Mac, you'll know how important it is to be accurate with your shooting. Tweaking mouse acceleration can be useful if you don't feel comfortable with the default settings. To be more comfortable. We're all used to different keyboards and mice. If you've just switched to a Mac, you may feel more in control once you've adjusted the mouse acceleration settings. To have more control. Disabling mouse acceleration means the mouse pointer moves the same distance as the mouse on your mousepad, which can feel more logical to some people."

Additional info

To disable Mouse acceleration, many websites suggest entering defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1 in Terminal. But it would lock the mouse sensitivity to 1.

Hi @iTvX thanks a lot for your feedback and for recommending the app on v2ex.com! The # of stars on this GitHub project jumped a crazy amount one day and I was so confused what was going on. I think that was you lol. So thank you! :)

I do plan on adding options to change the speed of your cursor soon. It will contain options to disable the acceleration or make the acceleration feel more accurate and natural.

Not sure how long it'll take to get this feature polished and ready for primetime, but it's the next thing I want to focus on after 3.0.0 releases.
