Feature request
Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2012 2:30 pm
Hi,
I recently updated my system and would like to make a feature request for the main program. Fully understand that it is probably too late to bring into the '42 cycle, but perhaps you can add it if you modify the main program for the '43 DLC.
The problem is as follows:
I'm now using two computers, and using the awesome Synergy open-source tool (http://synergy-foss.org/) to switch keyboard+mouse between the two by simply moving the mouse cursor from screen to screen without having to use a KVM switch (BTW, this is probably the coolest computer trick I've seen since I first encountered emulators for the first time).
Unfortunately, this interferes with the auto-scrolling of the map in Panzer Corps, as the screen switching is triggered by moving the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen. Synergy gets confused and the cursor hangs.
Could you offer an option to turn off auto-scroll and rather control scrolling manually with keys or the scroll-wheel? I have an old Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander controller that I can program to give out any keypresses so that I can use this to scroll the screen manually with my left hand. Alternatively, I can use the Apple Magic Touch pad to scroll (appears like a scroll-wheel).
Thanks,
Karl
