Capture mouse while controlling the knob
-
Hello! Got a quick question about the UI. In Ableton when you drag mouse while holding the knob - cursor stays in a same position. It is very intuitive because if you placed cursor on a knob you want it to stay on a knob and not moving around while you changing knob value.
Is it possible to capture the cursor position while you changing the knob value?
Thank you. -

What's intuitive is a matter of opinion. To me if I move the mouse it's intuitive that the cursor moves.

Nope not possible without dirty hacks…

@d-healey Sorry may be you understand it wrong - the cursor moves but software captures a position of it and return cursor to position where it was before you started a movement. So next click would be on same knob and you have easier control.

@Christoph-Hart is it worth for me to try or that is super complex things? Thank you!

@ForeverLive I think that should be on the absolute end of your priority list - I‘m using Ableton since 8 years now and haven‘t even noticed that behaviour :)

@Christoph-Hart thank you so much for your time! God bless you and your family!

In my experience, if @Christoph-Hart or @d-healey don't give a simple and straight answer its probably not a beginner friendly process.So like they said I'd also recommend other priorities first.
