Research direction

Start by locating the Python client's interaction shortcuts, especially scroll, and review how they are currently exposed. Compare them with W3C actions and the UIA2 driver's mouse and touch pointer behavior; done means the relevant shortcuts are marked deprecated and guidance for building equivalent W3C actions is available.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Python client has some interaction short cut such as scroll, but probably it is better to prepare a guide about how to build W3C actions for them rather than preparing such shortcuts as they might have many variations.

For example, UIA2 driver can accept mouse and touch pointers. They might work differently in UIAutomator framework.
