well i dont know if its really needed to have such input, ive made a
text game and i used it but for the sake of fluxus i dont see it as a
priority if you understand me.

Very nice, working good, though i have some "complaints" :), it needs
something in the same fashion for vertical scroll too im affraid if you
do exactly the same thing for vertical it will work as it will kind of
lose the tracking delay which is very cool (not sure here, only
wondering), the other is a bit more troublesome and im not sure if its
something that only happens here but the file dialogs are messed up with
this improvement.
