Pen pressure function and Thank you very much about moonlight-qt

Yeah please, I'm 3D artist and I'm looking forward to be able to use my main workspace remotely with Zbrush or Substance painter. Being able to use a Wacom from the client pc or Apple/Samsung/Xiaomi pencil would be awesome.

That would be a life changing

I downloaded and view code of moonlight, I find it support pen pressure function. but it is not compiled to latest release. And I find moonlight cant do more, because SDL2 just surpport pen pressure.SDL2 cant surpport pen float on screen surface as a mouse. It mean pen cant normal works on windows,except moonlight to improve it or upgrade to SDL3.

And do you think it'd be possible to update to SLD3? I mean, if we can have hope hahaha

hahah,I personally hope it is possible very much.But it is diffcult after I know status of SDL3. SDL3 is review now, and it has a lot of changed,therefore upgrade project may is complex and need much time.

reletively,to individually changed SDL2's code for adapt windows' pen pressure is easy, but this is not conducive to upgrade SDL3.

however, official version of SDL3 will be publish in furture, project upgrade also is inevitable. We just need wait and hope.

Yes, the problem is that SDL doesn't expose pen pressure until SDL 3 (which isn't yet released). Someone posted a WIP PR that converts Moonlight to SDL 3 (#1182) but it's probably outdated now since SDL3 is still making breaking changes.

Once SDL 3 is officially released and Moonlight has been updated to support it, the actual changes to support pen pressure are trivial.

Thank you for your reply and hard work.
