# Controller desktop click stability

Trigger presses reach KDE immediately, but controller motion within 8 logical
pixels of the press stays at that position until release. Releasing without a motion outside this
zone delivers the click at the original position, even if the hand moved during
release. Moving outside the zone begins a normal drag immediately; returning to
the zone does not turn it back into a click. There is no hold-duration timer.

This filters overlay pointer content events on desktop monitors only. Native mouse
input, SteamVR UI, separate screen grab bars and floating-app title-bar carrying
are unaffected. Multi-button gestures keep their existing behavior. A motion
onto another desktop monitor starts a drag; cross-monitor motion is not stabilized.

CLI (runtime preferences, reset to 8 on desktop restart):

```sh
input/ft-clickctl status
input/ft-clickctl threshold 8
input/ft-clickctl threshold 0  # disable without a restart
```

Thresholds are 0–64 logical pixels, normalized to each panel's KDE scale.
Status reports held state, suppressed motions, stabilized clicks and drags.
Changing the threshold while a controller button is held is refused.

This is a separate contribution from desktop mouse/controller ownership. Its
hardware validation must check small controls, intentional text selection,
long presses, cross-monitor dragging and simultaneous mouse use. The existing
renderer laser remains tracked; this change stabilizes desktop input rather
than smoothing the visual laser. Default threshold is a starting point to test.

Run `scripts/test-controller-click.sh` for the isolated gesture-state tests.
