Me too!

I don't like to put my fingers on the screen.

The swipe gesture can also be realized by a stylus.

Already now the device is capable to distinguish a swipe gesture from a tap gesture.
And with "tap and swipe" the tap and the swipe gesture are even locally separated.

There isn't even much programming to be done. The QT-Framework already provides a "tap" and "swipe" gesture and presents structures to register custom gestures. The only thing we have to do is to emit an artificial "pinch gesture"message when a "tap and swipe" gesture is recognized.


In this way we emulate the "pinch gesture" by a "tap and swipe" gesture.


But this has to be done in the GUI (because I don't want to program it for each application).

There should be also an entry in the preferences to allow the activation of the emulation of "pinch gestures" by "tap and swipe gestures".



The problem is what "kwtm" speaks about.

If the application provides already a message handling for the tap gesture the device can decide only after half a second if we are treating about a pure tap gesture or about a "tap and swipe".
But sometime bothes gestures can exist together. In this case no waiting is needed.
