Pen mode simulation using touchscreen
By: Delphir Date: April 24, 2022, 12:13 pm

It would be great to have an option to simulate "pen mode" (when
touchscreen acts as a mouse on the computer without pen
support).
It looks like right now all the needed components already
present in the TouchMousePointer, they just needs to be
assembled together into a single flow:
1. Full screen mode
2. Relative mode
3. Left mouse click simulation (right now requires a second
click on the touchscreen)
4. Touch movements "as mouse dragging"
so the idea is to automate "3. Left mouse click simulation"
whenever the TOUCH_START event happens, and "release" the left
mouse button whenever the TOUCH_END event happens.
If there were a TOUCH_MOVE events in between - this will result
in something like if "mouse clicked on an object, object was
dragged to the new position, mouse released".
Real usecase: Drawing with a stylus (on a touchscreen) in Slack
app during calls (while sharing a screen).
Unfortunately Slack don't support touchscreens by default and
their support says they don't have any plans for such support
(who are these guys? :O ).
