Touchpad / mouse mode

Hi, on my mobile phone with the Microsoft Remote Desktop app, the default way to control the mouse is to treat the touchscreen like a touchpad. (which means, when I slide my finger on the touchscreen, the mouse pointer would follow the direction, just like a touchpad). I think this feature is really useful on mobile phone / tablet.

That is a good idea, adding internal ticket to our backlog

Is this feature at all on the roadmap? I use rdp all the time on an iPad and having this feature makes the mouse much more accurate. For example when you need to resize a window and have to grab the very edge of the window, it’s only a few pixels wide and with the current mouse mode it’s almost impossible to accurately do this.

We are also very interested in this feature, especially for scrolling on a mobile device.
