Xpresser should support click and drag

[Chris Gagnon]

Is there any way to emulate a click and drag scenario? Is that a future plan?

Ever since the Android SDK updated the only way to answer a phone call is with a click and drag on the screen, but not a regular button (as I was doing before with graphic scripting).

Is there a feature for this? Maybe customizing in the .ini file or something? click this and drag it "x" pixels to the right or left?

I didn't see anything specifically mentioned about click and drags, and
I didn't see a blueprint for anything like that, so I wasn't certain if it was do-able or not.

Just a thought.
Thanks!

Here is a proof of concept by adding the following to xutils.py

def mouse_b1_press(x, y):
    pyatspi.Registry.generateMouseEvent(x, y, pyatspi.MOUSE_BP1)

def mouse_abs(x,y)
    pyatspi.Registry.generateMouseEvent(x, y, pyatspi.MOUSE_ABS)

def mouse_rel(x,y)
    pyatspi.Registry.generateMouseEvent(x, y, pyatspi.MOUSE_REL)

def mouse_b1_release(x, y):
    pyatspi.Registry.generateMouseEvent(x, y, pyatspi.MOUSE_BR1)

b1c - Left button click

b2c - Middle button click

b3c - Right button click

b1d - Left button double click

b2d - Middle button double click

b3d - Right button double click

abs - absolute motion

rel - relative motion

b1p - Button 1 press

b1r - Button 1 release

b3p - Button 3 press

b3r - Button 3 release
