I personally hate emulating a mouse with a joystick. I've always found it to be a remarkably unpleasant way to try to navigate menus. Mice are so natural and easy and intuitive to point and gesture with - while joysticks... are not. I would never want something like that to be done automatically by the engine in a game of mine.

If there's any kind of already written input bridging I'd want, It'd be the joystick emulating the arrow keys for menu navigation, or vice versa, because those 2 inputs are actually very similar.

Just wondering, with all the feedback on font size on the other
thread. Is there anyone else on the list who would agree that there's
some benefit in having a simple way to implement pointing through
joysticks in a way that's easily interchangeable with the mouse or is
the idea really that pointless?
