SUMMARY

Hi, in some places we have this file: MouseEventInputButton.qml:

https://lxr.kde.org/search?_filestring=MouseEventInputButton.qml&_string=

Inside it there is a string "Input Here" which can lead to confusion on some users (they can think this button is for typing here, but in fact we have to click in this button). We should change the string or change the logic as right now to add a mouse action we have to click twice in the button (1st in the "Add Action", then this button became the "Input Here" button

Yeah, the whole UI for this is really awkward and user-unfriendly; it's not just the string. Probably what we should do is enumerate all the available buttons on the current mouse and just make them available for adding actions in the UI automatically, without the user having to click "Add Action".

desktoppackage: give mouse input button an icon

This improves the consistency and makes the button easier to use because
it now shows a mouse icon when it's waiting for the user input, so user
will not be confused by "which input".
