The need to emulate mouse is forced by web compatibility. It's hardly a success story for coherent API design - beyond lowest common denominator functionality, you have to use completely separate APIs for touch, for example. Besides, it's surprising to me that gamepad can be seen as a representative name for wheels or 3d mice. - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
