Can you please add feature for recognizing touchscreen long touch as right mouse click? Like this work in windows or android.
Comment 1 Peter Hutterer 2017-12-03 01:42:44 UTC
Not in libinput, sorry. Please request that this be added in your toolkit.

libinput doesn't have enough knowledge of the actual context of the application, so unconditionally converting a long touch into a right click is just a bad idea. It introduces delays and causes erroneous conversions to right clicks when this shouldn't happen (e.g. selecting an element or interacting with an element that requires a long touch).

This needs to be implemented in the toolkit (or the application directly) but not in libinput.
