Comment (by i30817):

 So basically the gist of my previous post here is 'if this is fixed (any
 keycode remapping instead of 'user friendly' aliases like 'skip' for esc,
 as well as potentially more buttons in the virtual gamepad for more
 functions - especially the center wheel in scummvm has potential to add
 buttons there, or a alt square mode for better space efficiency), it would
 be nice to have a mixed virtual gamepad\cursor and virtual gamepad\drag
 modes for games that use that popular windows scheme'.


 These can be implemented in several unsatisfactory ways:
 1. a new zone in the virtual gamepad where drag works
    problems: too many zones already occupy space (3), can't work well with
 the mouse\tap mode because zones wouldn't be able to be tapped
 2. a new button mode that temporarily disables gamepad while pressed.
    problems: cant move and shoot at the same time, which is exactly the
 main usecase of this mode of control in most games that use it.
 3. 2 new modes mixed gamepad\touch or gamepad\drag (not a hold onscreen
 key mode, more like the keyboard alt mode where it's a toggle) that forces
 the controller widgets to a potentially a user made layout (or opinionated
 layout, like all the wheels on the left side of the screen to maximize
 tap\drag space with the right hand and movement\key control with the left
 hand).
    problems: I mean, it's less space, but assuming a general left to right
 gameplay in most games using these mixed modes, and a fixed smaller zone
 for the gamepad zones, I think it would work best for both tap and drag.
 I'm unsure if the controller keys should always be visible (because the
 zones are smaller and less defined).
