Route external mouse/trackpad exclusively through GCMouse and stop the Option/Alt->Win key remap. - TouchOverlayView now drops .indirectPointer touches. External pointers arrive as both GCMouse events and indirect-pointer UITouches; the manual touch path was warping the direct-mode cursor to the stale touch location and fighting GCMouse deltas during touchpad-mode drags. GCMouse is now the sole handler for external pointers. - pressesBegan/pressesEnded no longer remap a held Alt/Option to LGUI (Win), which turned Alt+Tab into Win+Tab (Task View). Alt is sent as Alt. Key repeat is preserved. Fixes hugeBlack#88

Thank you for the fix, the alt remap is on purpose for mac hosts since ipados eats cmd+tab/space/h, it just should never have been on for windows. I'm putting it behind a setting in a follow up so you don't need to touch this. |

Summary
Fixes the three input regressions reported in #88, all affecting external mouse / Magic Keyboard trackpad and hardware-keyboard input.
Root causes & fixes
External mouse/trackpad input arrives on iPadOS twice: as
GCMouseevents and as.indirectPointerUITouches. The manual touch path inParsecViewControllerwas also consuming those touches, which caused two of the regressions. The keyboard regression came from an unconditional Alt/Option-to-Win remap.1. Direct mode: external-mouse click warps cursor to last touch position
TouchOverlayViewfed indirect-pointer touches intostartCursor(), which in direct mode warped the host cursor to the stale touch location (sendMousePosition) before clicking.2. Touchpad mode: click-drag broken
The same touches drove
moveCursor(), sending absolute positions that foughtGCMousedeltas.Fix 1+2:
TouchOverlayView.forwardnow drops.indirectPointertouches;GCMousehandles external pointers.3. Left Alt sent as Win
Removed the Alt->Win remap so Alt is sent as Alt; key repeat preserved.
