Description

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

Dear Development Team,
Hello!
Your player is fantastic! 🌹❤👍😜

could you customize the align-to-cursor speed?

The current default align-to-cursor speed feels a bit slow.

After trying it out, I found this feature to be fantasticly designed and incredibly practical, applicable in many fields.

Therefore, I would like to request the addition of a custom speed setting for dragging and panning in align-to-cursor.

We recommend adding a custom speed setting (e.g., align-to-cursor-speed=1.25) to make mouse dragging and panning more responsive and smoother.

Windows 10/11

Research direction

Start by locating the existing align-to-cursor setting and the mouse dragging and panning behavior it controls. Define how a configurable speed value such as align-to-cursor-speed=1.25 should affect that behavior, then verify that the setting works on the reported Windows use case without changing the default speed.
