Feature request: Unique input styles for inner / outer trackpad rings

You can already do it more or less. Follow this tutorial and on every dpad button put "apply action layer" to a radial menu action layer. In the radial remember to put a release press activator to every button to come back to the standard layer. It works, I use it in games like the witcher to change the sings on the go or to open different menus. it's pretty nice :) And it actually works as you said, when you use the mouse you can use the full surface of the trackpad, when you activate the outer ring and then go to the center of the pad you still use the radial until you release the thumb.
