You're right to propose new enhancements but I suppose the biggest priority for Macos part is to make LO work on Catalina without any workarounds.

This is all native macOS code, essentially implementing new os API to bring in iPad as a digitizing tablet. Similar to implementing native Windows Touch API for Gestures on touch screens (i.e. bug 85677).

Sidecar also allowed to use gestures on iPad screens.
