Detect touch devices. #23

Open sudodoki opened 8 years ago

sudodoki commented 8 years ago

As suggested by @shvaikalesh in #3, just considering this a separate issue.

Also, messages like "double tap and choose copy" can be displayed on handheld devices.

Furthermore, it is possible to detect whether virtual keyboard or hardware one is used (innerHeight property of window shrinks when most of mobile keyboards slide up, except for iOS).

AFAIK, "double tap to copy" is only Android thing, so detecting heuristics will be even more sophisticated. However, according to can i use, Clipboard API via document.execCommand is not supported only by iOS <= 9 and support is coming to iOS 10. So I would not bother now.

I'm sure ya'll already solved this. But since this is still open after 4 years, I wanted to say that I solved this using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Touch_events to know when a touch device fired something.

@davidhorm great to know, thanks! I guess this issue was one of enhancements list, so I didn't bang my head over solving it.
