Bug Description

Hello,

I wanted to add a suggestion for keyboard mapping possibilities: being able to map a key hold to move a fader/knob with the mouse.

For example, after adding `crossfader_up h+mouse_horizontal` to the config, one could use the crossfader by moving the cursor horizontally while pressing the H key.

This feature could be extended to support combinations of vertical and horizontal movements, scroll wheel, and so on. In case of combinations, one possible behavior would be to lock the first pressed key to the horizontal axis, the second to the vertical axis, and the third to the mouse wheel by default, and then let users modify the binding order.

This would basically bridge the gap for non-discrete parameters like EQ knobs and so on by combining the keyboard for fast parameter selection and the mouse/trackpad for finer tuning.

Regards,
Jules
