Description
Description
First of all: thank you for the great work!
It works very well but I have 1 issue that is really bothering me:
I am controlling several Windows desktop cpmputers from my Macbook Pro.
I can't scroll or zoom in the remote Windows computers using 2-finger gestures on my Macbook-touchpad. As a workaround, I have to drag the scrollbars to scroll.
Please add support for 2-finger scrolling at least.
Impact
All users that are using laptops as clients

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the client-side mouse and touchpad input handling, then trace how scroll and zoom events reach Windows-controlled sessions. Done means two-finger scrolling works remotely, with zoom support addressed if the existing input path allows it.
