Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing mouse-drag behavior for moving the image, then determine how joystick input should map to it; done means joystick/gamepad movement works equivalently to dragging.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Just an idea. Maybe we could move it around with joystick also, just like when pressing down mouse button, moving mouse and releasing button.
