## Summary of the Pull Request Added '[Gliding Cursor](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/37097)' functionality to Mouse Pointer Crosshairs, this enables a single hotkey/Microsoft Adaptive Hub + button to control cursor movement and clicking. This is implemented as an extension to the existing Mouse Pointer Crosshairs module. Testing has been manual, ensuring that the existing Mouse Pointer Crosshairs functionality is unchanged, and that the new Gliding Cursor functionality works alongside Mouse Pointer Crosshairs.  <img width="857" height="438" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b9e7ee72-dfeb-4d20-93a5-a34e8b10d703" /> To test this functionality: - Open Mouse Crosshair settings and make sure the feature is enabled. - Press the shortcut to start the gliding cursor — a vertical line appears. - Press the shortcut again to slow the vertical line. - Press once more to fix the vertical line; a horizontal line begins moving. - Press again to slow the horizontal line. - When the lines meet at your target, press the shortcut to perform the click. ## PR Checklist - [x] Closes: #37097 - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.
