Some way of making it possible to create GUIs where, if a user turns a knob, while the user is click-dragging, the cursor remains in the same position on screen (while the knob rotates). This way, the cursor stays closer to all the other GUI elements, and the user isn't requiered to swoop down fom the top of the screen to get back to the interface after turning a knob.

Someone has been searching the archives, haven't they? 🙂
I hadn't even read this far back myself. It's a good idea - I know FL Studio does it this way.

I like that idea a lot, I'm all for total control with things like this, e.g. the ability to hide the cursor when click-dragging a knob/slider etc, or to change the cursor shape to a crosshair, or a user defined bmp or whatever 🙂

Yeah, those things will definitely come. The idea has always been to allow maximium control and flexibility when you need it and good default behavior when you don't.

Keep in mind that this won't work with absolute positioning input devices such as Wacom digitizers. So please make it optional 🙂
