Describe the issue
i dont know if there is already a method to do that as macros dont save in my waydroid cage though i think this would be cool to have even if its possible in macro

iam playing pubg and iam trying to find a method for switching between normal walkng and sprinting.

the game allow sptinting diagonally to left or right and to forward, moving from the center of pubg dbad to the end of dbad make the player walk, but moving the from the center of the dpan to further from the dpad edge allow for sprinting.

xtmapper dpad only support a fixed potions and size for dpad, while also not allowing a modifier key for sprinting
my suggestion is adding a setting for dpad that when a button is holded or pressed (either toggle or hold depending on game) to allow expanding and maybe changing the position of dpad such as the shift key or a custom key the player can assing so player can can switch to walking or sprinting in game without releasing the the movement buttons (as games like pubg rely on you not removing your finger and moving further from the edge of the dpad to start sprinting)

another option is that if the modifier key is pressed or or holded to make the forward button act as a swipe button but this may not support moving diagonally

maybe also add an option for the dpad for if the player pressed the forward button twice (like pressing w twice) to either press a button on screen (as some games have sprint implemented as a seperate button that when pressed it allow sprint) or to expand the dpad

from what i know is that there is swipe key in xtmapper but when i was walking forward using the w button using the xtmapepr dpad, then pressed on the swipe button that i configured to be above the dpap it didnt work, only when i stopped moving and pressed it did it work in pubg

OS: bazzite kde wayland
waydroid version 1.6.3
using the xtmappe cage from releases
using the xtmapper debug apk from the previous issue which solved my previos issue fortunetly
