Nspire screen to be controlled by a computer mouse #319

Open wesvr opened 1 year ago

wesvr commented 1 year ago

Enable the Nspire screen to be controlled by a computer mouse, which would greatly improve user-friendliness compared to using the keyboard.

This is already working, though...

Perhaps we are not entirely on the same page? I actually have the latest version and can only operate the keyboard on the nspire, or via the computer keyboard. However, it would be nice if the screen itself were interactive, allowing me to click on icons on the nspire screen with the computer mouse instead of using the nspire keyboard. Currently, I am only able to operate it through the nspire keyboard and not via the nspire screen. (I just tried again)

You should be able to get the screen cursor to show up by clicking-and-holding your mouse on the Nspire screen, then wiggling it for a sec or two. Then you can just use the cursor directly. -- Thank you, Adrien Bertrand

Ideally we'd get a way to give absolute coordinates to the OS, but that's not possible without some OS specific hooks.
