interesting idea, but I don't think it'll work. too much guesswork, too easy to get wrong. for example, when I know I need to cover a large distance while dragging, a quick 3-4cm repeated drag is faster than a couple of large moves. > I would think also that it would help to only turn it on if the finger is > released near the edge of the touchpad, and not in the middle. see above.
