3D Mouse Support (SpaceMouse / SpacePilot) — Cross-Platform Now!

Great news for everyone running a 3Dconnexion device alongside QET — pan/zoom support via libspnav or Hidapi See cmake option (discussion #599, PR #635) has landed and matured fast across all three platforms:

• Linux — enabled first, shipped in the Snap build and in my Debian packages. Note: flatpak sandboxing may prevent libspnav from working there.

• Windows 11 — tested working (even without 3DxWare installed).Hidapi

• macOS — works out of the box once any old 3DxWare driver is removed (reboot required) Hidapi. Shane (ispyisail) then contributed additional code so testers with 3DxWare installed can use it too — fixed in PR #1032 ("Fix 3D mouse doing nothing on macOS when 3DxWare is installed").

Nice bit of rapid cross-platform iteration — Linux → Windows → macOS in just a couple of days, with community testing (thanks Shane!) closing the last gap.

If you've got a SpaceMouse/SpacePilot gathering dust, now's the time to plug it in and try panning/zooming your schematics with it!

Thanks Pierre to send me this mouse 5 years ago.

Also merged in the same batch: PR #1021 — fixes bugtracker #217, QET now suggests element information already used in the project. Small but handy quality-of-life improvement.

Wow, there's so much coming up. Even when I look through the press releases, I can't find every feature.
Are there any videos here about the features, like the ones I often create?

Okay, that's too bad. As an outsider who didn't create the features, it's hard to keep up, let alone take over the task of making the videos.
