Ok, this is the master morphic architect view. It is valid, and I
consider you do a good job at this.
Now my view is from the morphic application developer side. I have a
morphic application requiring ctrl+drag, and I can make it work. It is
not even difficult. I just ask for a backdoor so that I don't have to
monkeypatch something as basic as the event handling mechanism.
The way I see it, you refuse by principle; and this amount to
deliberately enforcing a lack of functionality without any regard to the
actual need of actual morphic applications, of which I provided an
example. This I do not understand.

I know. We already discussed this two years ago:
http://forum.world.st/cmdGesturesEnabled-false-gt-no-halos-td4882669.html
Nothing changed with regard to #cmdGesturesEnabled. I guess it is indeed
time for the split you propose.

Please do not feel offended, but this remark is rather patronizing.
I am not asking anything, I am proposing something. As far as I am
concerned, things can stand as they are, I'll just keep hacking my way
into the current design.
I just thought I had something worthy to propose.
Best,
Stef
