Such an option would also revole the timing problems with the keyboard
repeat etc. in fast-forwarding mode, wouldn't it?
Don't get me wrong, I like Hatari and use it a lot. But there are two major
pain points:
- Keyboard repeats do not work in fast-forwarding mode
- Mouse pointer synchronization with X11 does not work: If the mouse leaves
the Hatari window and re-enters it, the mouse pointer position is out of
sync
What if Hatari were to automatically leave fast-forward mode for a few seconds
whenever the mouse was used or a (mouse, keyboard, joystick) button was pressed?
A solution?
