Feature Request: Long press to open context menu #27

Open PhilDevProg opened 1 year ago

PhilDevProg commented 1 year ago

On touch screens and when using a pen it can be very difficult or even impossible to open the context menu with a right click, so an option to enable left click like the normal App Menu has would improve the experience for Tablet users a lot.

Hey, that sounds completely fair to me and I've been thinking about improving the touch experience, but didn't have a touch screen device to test it on my own. This will be on my list for a future release. What would be the best option in you opinion:

Thanks!

PhilDevProg commented 1 year ago

I think the first one would be the best since with that both features are usable.

PhilDevProg commented 1 year ago

Another option would be to have a feature that disables minimization and replaces it with the context menu so if you tap/click on the icon of the app that's focused it will show the context menu and if you tap/click on a different app icon it will switch to this app.

I like both ideas, thanks!
