Joystick Mouse Emulation Toggle?

I'm guessing not that many people have a mouse and keyboard connected to their Mister.

Perhaps those with a very minimal setup would still want to use computer cores?

Keyboard emulation on a joystick is perhaps a bit tougher (on-screen keyboard will probably take a lot of effort), but mouse emulation sounds easier...

I'm proposing a button that swaps the joystick input for mouse emulation, so joystick right moves mouse right, button 1 is left click, and so on.

What do you think?

(Btw, which is the "main" Atari ST core in Github? I wanted to post this suggestion there, but seems there's more than one core, or at least more than one repository?)

If I am not mistaken this already exists when setting up a controller in MISTer, not in a core.

If you’ve ever calibrated a joystick on MiSTer, you’ve already assigned buttons for mouse-emulation mode.
