BTW: I have already done some research on the touch movements for the remote control view.
My goal: (still need to experiment with it, but I think this is what you want) when screen is touched and moved I detect the direction (needs to be a minimum movement of pixels for the precise detection of the direction) and start moving the selection bar in Kodi. When the distance is getting bigger the movement goes faster. Of course the direction and speed can be changed just by moving the direction of your finger and goes slower again when returning to the point where you started.

I think that a single touch in the designated areas should just do one selection bar movement to make sure you reach your destination.

I hope that I make some sense.

Sounds good will have to try it out. It's just trial and error
