[Windows] Trackpad gestures in the 2D workspace are different from that of the standard conventions #72414

Open cvlnomen opened 1 year ago

cvlnomen commented 1 year ago

Godot version

Godot 4 Beta 16 mono

System information

Windows 10, Laptop with a trackpad

Issue description

The 2D workspace uses trackpad gestures that differ from that of the standard conventions when trying to perform the following two actions:

To perform a scroll, the user has to pinch the trackpad with two fingers instead of sliding it.
To perform a zoom, the user has to slide the touchpad with two fingers instead of pinching it.

These differences in gestures can lead to a lot of confusion, especially when switching between the 2D workspace and applications/components that do follow the conventions (like the code editor).

Here is an example when pinching the trackpad in both the 2D workspace and the script editor:
Godot_v4 0-beta16_mono_win64_iEcASlbH3n

Steps to reproduce

Perform the pinch/slide trackpad gesture in both the 2D workspace as well as the code editor.

On Mac Os 12.6 using 4.0.beta16 the gestures are working as expected:

Pinch to zoom in and zoom out on 2D workspace and Script editor
Slide trackpad to scroll on 2D workspace and Script Editor (but with this problem here on 2D workspace https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/72242)

Can confirm this is still happening in the released version (also on windows 10, acer laptop). Extremely confusing

In Windows, pinching in/out still scrolls instead of zooms on 4.1 dev 3

Ouch, this is still a problem on Godot 4.1.3... This is probably something related to mouse scrolling being somehow related into the trackpad (I have never worked in godot code btw, just a guess)

4.2.1 Can confirm - still happening, hyper confusing

Calinou commented 7 months ago

Can anyone reproduce this on 3.5.3?

jefvel commented 6 months ago

@Calinou In Godot 3.5.3, both pinching and scrolling on a touchpad causes it to zoom. In 4.2.1, pinching scrolls vertically, and scrolling zooms.

Tested on a laptop with windows 11. On MacOS it works correctly.

jefvel commented 6 months ago

After looking into it a bit, it seems like this is fixable by setting the editor property editors/panning/2d_editor_panning_scheme to Scroll Pans It makes panning and zooming possible with a touchpad on Windows.

It might better to translate the touchpad gesture events into InputEventPanGesture and InputEventMagnifyGesture though, since that's how it seems to work on MacOS.

Just tested it and it worked on my laptop, thank you so much!
