Pen Support on Android Client

Hello!

I'm using my android tablet with active stylus support to connect to ARD sessions on my Apple Silicon Mac.
On other clients, I've used my pen in touchscreen mode to help navigation, however this doesn't seem to work in RDM. This is a very helpful feature that makes navigation much more seamless when using a phone/tablet to connect to remote desktop sessions.

I'd like to request pen support for the RDM Android app such that:
- Pen touches behave as finger touches along with long press and double tap gestures
- Pen hover events allow the mouse to be moved on the remote machine without a touch event being registered, so that it can trigger mouse hover events on the remote machine (this second one is what really helps bring value over just using fingers in touchscreen mode)

Please let me know if this is something that would be possible and something you find valuable.

Appreciate your help!

Hello,

Currently, full pencil support is only available in RDP sessions. We will create a feature request to support it in other sessions as well. However, no timeline has been set for its implementation.

Best regards,
