Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Due to limited range of motion, it can be very difficult to constantly move your head to make selections.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to have the cursor continuously move if the head is in a certain direction (like the carousel on AppleTV).
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
Additional context
This is part of the feedback from Arohan's family member that is using the app on a MotoG6.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the Android app's existing head-controlled selection flow, then define the behavior for holding a head direction and for stopping or changing direction; done means continuous cursor movement works reliably for the described limited-range-of-motion use case.
