Summary

celeste menus are keyboard/controller only, and switching hands to click through the pause menu or chapter select is annoying.

Menu Mouse (Interface tab, on by default): hold Left Alt (rebindable in its popup) in a menu and the cursor drives it. hover selects, left click confirms, clicking the left/right half of a value steps it down/up, right click goes back, the wheel scrolls long lists. works in every focused TextMenu (pause, options, mod options, akron prompts, Return to Map confirm), main menu, file select (slots, slot buttons, delete prompt), chapter select, chapter panel and the journal. in chapter select and the chapter panel the first click selects and the second opens, since selecting there moves the mountain camera.

also, since the other cursor tools share the Left Alt default: while Menu Mouse drives a menu, Cursor Tools, Cursor Zoom, Entity Inspector, Free Camera mouse control and the Click Teleport cursor stand down, so the same Alt hold or pointer doesn't also pan, zoom or freeze the level behind the menu. Click Teleport ignores clicks while paused, and a click that started in the pause menu (like the one on Resume) doesn't teleport or flip a Cursor Zoom toggle on the first unpaused frame.

Verification

  • scoped to menu mouse plus the paused click teleport guard
  • interface and hotkey docs updated
  • changelog updated
  • no feature classification changes; Menu Mouse is pinned as unclassified in the registry tests
  • tests added: row hit testing, value zones, wheel scroll limits, one-frame synthetic presses, chapter step walker, cursor tools and inspector stand-down, fresh-press tracking for click teleport and cursor zoom. they only touch akron code and plain fields, since CI's celeste references are reference-only. each was checked to fail on a matching mutation (no release reset, no refusal stop, no first-line limit, hidden rows counted, edge reset while gated)
  • live game evidence below
  • screenshots included
  • no secrets, private paths, local config or captures committed
  • submitted at the maintainer's request under the contribution license
  • human review/testing: none yet; agent testing is described below

Checks run

dotnet build Akron.sln --configuration Release --nologo
dotnet test tests/akron-tests.csproj --configuration Release --nologo
make format-check
dotnet format Akron.sln --include Source/Runtime/akron-menu-mouse.cs tests/menu-mouse-tests.cs --verify-no-changes

rebased on beta 84. build passed, 2009/2009 tests passed. make format-check passes. the full-file format run only reports brace placement on the new files: .editorconfig asks for newline braces, but the module/overlay/runtime files these sit next to use same-line braces, so i matched them.

Live verification

  • environment: linux mint 22.3/X11 (cinnamon), jc141 wine launcher, celeste 1.4.0.0, everest 6418, akron built from this branch
  • maps: Celeste/1-ForsakenCity via akron_qa_enter_level 1 normal 0, plus the overworld
  • 2b5cade at Window Scale 4x (1280x720 window, not at the screen origin): Alt-hover follows the pointer to Vertical Sync and Keyboard Config, Grab Mode > then < goes Hold > Invert > Hold. Window Scale set back to 6x
  • current head (61809ee), Cursor Tools with freeze gameplay on: pause in chapter 1, Alt-hover Mod Options, Alt-click Resume resumes and Madeline stays at 19, 144. the previous build teleported her to the cursor on that click
  • 563494f: main menu flick-click (cursor lands and clicks in the same frame) opens Options. before the fix it only selected it. Options Grab Mode > then < after 0.8 s waits (Hold > Invert > Hold), one wheel notch scrolls about two rows and selects the row under the cursor, right click back to the main menu
  • earlier build of the same pointer code, before the geometry was split into plain functions: pause menu hover and click, list stays still while hovering, wheel stops at the end, clicks on a sub header do nothing, Speedrun Clock OFF > Chapter > OFF, right click back resumes the level
  • earlier build of the same overworld code: main menu hover and click into Options/Climb, file select slot hover/open, slot button hover, right click back out of a slot, Return to Map confirm (Yes and Cancel), chapter panel A to C-side walk and back, chapter select Ch1 to Ch3 walk and opening the selected chapter, right click back to the map
  • the journal was not checked live: its default key is Tab, which is also akron's overlay key

cinnamon heads up: cinnamon moves windows with Alt+drag by default and swallows every Alt+left click before the game sees it. hovering still works. with the window-move key set to Super, the same clicks work. the docs say to rebind Menu Mouse or change the desktop setting. akron's other Alt+click tools probably hit the same thing but i didn't test them. all click checks above ran with the modifier set to Super, then it was set back to Alt.

Speedrun Clock stepped to Chapter by clicking its > while the list stays put

second save slot highlighted by hovering

chapter panel walked from A-side to C-side with one click

chapter select walked from chapter 1 to chapter 3 with one click

Menu Mouse adds an enabled-by-default, rebindable cursor control for supported Celeste menus. While held, hovering selects items, left-click confirms or adjusts values, right-click goes back, and the wheel scrolls or navigates.

  • Supported screens include text menus, the main menu, file and chapter selection, the chapter panel, and the journal. In chapter selection and the chapter panel, the first click selects and the second opens.
  • While Menu Mouse controls a menu, Cursor Tools, Cursor Zoom, Entity Inspector, and Free Camera mouse control stand down. Click Teleport ignores clicks while paused and requires a fresh press after the pause gate clears.
  • The author reports passing build, test, and format checks. The journal was not checked live, and no human review or testing was reported.

Walkthrough

The PR adds a default-on Menu Mouse feature with a configurable hold binding, defaulting to Left Alt. While the binding is held, mouse and wheel input can select and navigate supported text and Overworld menus. The PR also adds overlay and setup-state support, documentation, and tests. Click Teleport now ignores clicks while the level is paused, including the click that unpauses the game. Cursor Tools, Cursor Zoom, Entity Inspector, and Free Camera mouse control stand down while Menu Mouse drives a menu.

Menu Mouse is default-on and I found no confirmed defects in the reviewed changes. One earlier open concern about a possible exception in the menu mouse input hook should be checked before merge.

Full details: Documentation Impact

Explanation

The UI documentation is updated, but the .akr persistence contract is not. The PR adds MenuMouse to AkronSetupState and captures and applies it (Source/Setups/akron-setup-state.cs:24, Source/Setups/akron-setup-settings.cs:33, Source/Setups/akron-setup-state-apply.cs:31). Whole-pack validation derives its exact required fields from all public AkronSetupState properties (Source/Setups/akron-setup-packs.cs:1214-1218, 1331-1344), so pre-PR Whole packs lack the new menuMouse field and are rejected. However, docs/reference/akr-archives.mdx:136-162 still documents only akron-setup-v10 and does not document the new field or the migration impact. The setup-state guide also continues to state only the generic Whole scope and current v10 status (docs/concepts/akr-files-and-setup-state.mdx:43-50).

Resolution

Document menuMouse in the setup payload contract and state that Whole packs created before this schema change must be re-exported. Prefer bumping the setup payload version, then update the archive reference, setup-state guide, and changelog with the migration note.

Comment thread Source/Runtime/akron-menu-mouse.cs
Add Menu Mouse, an Interface option that lets the cursor drive Celeste's own
menus while its hold bind (Left Alt by default) is held. Hover selects, left
click confirms or steps the value under the cursor, right click goes back and
the wheel scrolls. It covers every focused TextMenu, the main menu, file
select, chapter select, the chapter panel and the journal.

The pointer only picks the selection. Actions are one-frame presses of the
menu's own VirtualButtons, so each screen runs its native confirm/back code.
While the bind is held the menu keeps its position, so hovering never makes
the list slide under the cursor.

Click Teleport now ignores clicks while paused, since both features default
to Left Alt.
