Cursorwerx 0.1, the first release. Makes ATAK behave for a mouse or a trackpad, on a desktop (the TAKwerx ATAK Terminal, Android Studio's emulator), on Samsung DeX or on a Chromebook. On a phone or tablet used with a finger it does nothing at all.

What it does

  • The scroll wheel zooms in and out at the cursor, one gentle step per click, paced for trackpads.
  • The wheel scrolls the pane, list or menu under the cursor, and never zooms the map behind it.
  • Click and drag pans the map 1:1; a click selects; a long press opens the radial menu. Things ATAK lets you drag still drag.
  • Clicks land in text fields, and in web pages inside plugin panes (an Esri sign-in, for example).
  • A Back button on the left edge of the screen, and the Escape key, are Back.
  • On an emulator, the guest's second pointer is hidden so there is one cursor.

Nothing to configure. Load it and it is working; unload it and ATAK is as it was. No network, no storage, no permissions.

Downloads

Built and signed by the TAK Product Center from this source. Pick the one matching your ATAK-CIV version, sideload it or drag it onto the TAKwerx ATAK Terminal window, then load it in ATAK's Plugins manager. The TAKwerx Market installs and updates it from inside ATAK.
