FR: option to make all touch events silent #185

Closed AtmanActive closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request about the Desktop Multivnc or the Mobile MultiVNC?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm always frustrated when I'm clicking around using on-screen left/middle/right buttons and my phone goes click, click, click and does the haptic vibration

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to be able to disable all sounds and haptic feedback for all buttons either on an application level, or, alternately, per server.

Describe alternatives you've considered Putting my phone into do-not-disturb mode, but haptic feedback vibration is still present.

Additional context I have a high myopia (shortsightedness) which enables me to look at a 6" phone screen (without my glasses) in 2560x1080 resolution and still be able to read every single letter from a normal windows desktop. In other words, I have a microscopic eyesight. This serves me pretty well for controlling my desktop from my android phone, but, since I am holding my phone some 5cm away from my eyes, all sounds and vibrations are disturbing me. Also, when I use MultiVNC in this way, I use it to do some real work, not just for an occasional click here and there. I'm doing everything as if I'm in front of my desktop. That means a lot of clicking and a lot of dragging (button holding), and, in all of this, current sound and haptic feedback are just annoying me. I believe I would be much faster with MultiVNC if all clicks/drags were silent. As some people could find that click sound/vibro useful (in some other usage scenarios), then, the best thing to do, IMHO, is to make it optional.

@AtmanActive turns out the implementation overrode the system settings. This has been removed. I was able to toggle click sounds and haptic feedback via the procedure outlined in https://www.howtogeek.com/262032/how-to-disable-haptic-feedback-or-vibrate-on-tap-in-android/

Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately, it doesn't work here on Android 12 and MultiVNC v2.0.10. Do I need an updated MultiVNC version? Where could I get one? Thanks!

This will be in v2.1.0 which is due to be released very soon, hopefully today.
