Toggle Trackpad/Direct Cursor and Left-Click/Right-Click
Hello,

to make Citybuilders, RTS games and other mouse-based games easier to play, i would like to have two new buttons:
* Toggle between Trackpad and Direct Cursor mode
* Toggle between Left-Click and Right-Click on one-finger-tap

Here is why:
In Mouse-based games you usually have all control elements of the game mouse-clickable as ui elements on screen. On PC you would usually just click these elements. For each element there is usually also a keyboard shortcut for advanced players.
On a mobile platform it makes sense to use the Direct Cursor mode to just tap the ingame buttons directly to get what you want, instead of making extra buttons for the keyboard shortcuts using a Steam Link button configuration, since the screen would get pretty crowded with touch-buttons then.
On a big screen and maybe with a pen this works great! But the Direct Cursor mode is bad for placing buildings or sending troops around, because you can't drag the cursor around to see where the building would be placed or the troops would be send. This can be done easier in Trackpad mode. But in Trackpad mode it is very inconvinient to move the cursor to the ingame buttons.
Therefore it would be great to have a button for fast changing between those cursor modes. Then you could choose which mode to use depending on what you want to do in the game.

In RTS games a left-click is usually used for selecting something and right-click to set troops in motion. Left-click can be done easily with a single-tap, but a right-click requires a two-finger tap. If you want to precisely hit a certain point on the map like this, you are doomed.
It would be better to have a button to toggle what the one-finger-tap does.

As far as i know it is already possible to toggle between Left- and Right-Click using different layers. Somewhere in this forum there is a guide for doing so. The solution is rather inconvinient, because it includes different layers. An easier way would be great!

I would like to see a new configuration template for Mouse-Based games, where those two buttons are already implemented.
