5 SDL: mouse emulation through cursor keys - ID: 1688704
Last Update: Comment added ( kirben )

It would be a good thing to have mouse emulation back
enabled. Because :

1) for a number of games it emulates the default behaviour of that games

2) there are a number of cases where there's is no mouse available or
usable in paractical way

For example my kids love to play puttputt or freddi on tv (myththv) from
the sofa on a wireless keyboard. Having a mouse connected to the
mediacenter or even a wireless mouse is not an option as there's nowhere to
move it on .

For a number of kids, tapping the keys is also easier than trying to
control a mouse pointer.


The enabling of the emulation could be done on games
where this is the default behaviour in the original
or through a similar mechanism as requested by
feature request 1679819 : Remap joystick buttons via scummvmrc


This feature request was raised as a followup of bug 1687663

thanks

There are AGOS games which use the arrows keys, specially Swampy
Adventures and Waxworks.

And several of the arcade type HE games make use of arrow keys too.

Also there are AGI games which make use of the arrow keys.

As I recall it, this feature was disabled because there are cases where we
use the arrow keys for other things. Usually GUI-related things, like
scrolling a listbox widget. Fingolfin may remember more precisely.

So if this feature is to be re-introduced, there would probably have to be
a way to turn it off, as well.
