Revision history [back]

I am hoping to minimize my workspace equipment. One idea is to use my phone as a touchpad. My phone is always on my desk while i work, connected by USB cable, so my brain didn't have to jump far to come up with the idea.

Would it be hard to create an app that lets me use my Jolla as a touchpad? ...with two finger zoom and scroll bars?

Imagine for a second a deskTOH that would turn the phone into a mouse and the touch surface into mouse button buttons (and more). This would probably be more functional with a phone with a smaller form factor.

I would settle for an app that turns the phone into a mouse. ...and works while connected to a usb port. The app should be possible to switch on and off by the usual "cover gestures". That way the phone keeps all functionality.
