Feature request for mobile browsing: Tap & Hold #620

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I use arora on the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet.
I'd like to be able to evoke a right-click by tapping&holding the web page for 
a moment.
While this is something that should be solvable beyond the scope of a single 
application, 
the reality is that:
1. It has been solved on many different levels (GTK+ has a reasonable solution 
via a 
module that does just that, works with Midori), with the scene being very 
fragmented.
2. All available external solutions that I've tried either don't work 
(mousetweaks+at-spi 
won't play nice with WebKit for some reason) or are extremely heavy (botch 
together some 
X automation tools that launch a process every time the mouse would fart -- not 
conductive to a good mobile experience).

With the N900 already announced, and with the following release of its 
finger-friendly Maemo platform (based on Debian), codenamed Harmattan, 
migrating from GTK+ to QT, I 
suspect there's an optimal embedded solution to be found.
