I finally came up with an amazing solution. I found that rotating one of my monitors 90° and holding the mouse also rotated the same 90° simulates this feature. The mouse bit is optional but I found it hard to remap in my brain the coordinates with the mouse movement going 90° from the physical movement. Yes this is extremely awkward, but until someone who has the coding ability and sympathizes with the problem can do something about it, this is an actual workaround. Go LOW TECH!
And unlike the "tape your cellphone to your head" hands free solution, this leaves no sticky residue!

PS: I tried suspending myself from the ceiling sideways, parallel to the ground, but the resulting injuries are what have kept me from further commenting on this RFE since my last comment. I am all better now, thank you. For that reason I would not recommend anyone else try the ceiling hanging method.
