Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 113164
Direct support for touchscreens
Last modified: 2014-04-14 19:43:27 UTC
Touchscreens become more mainstream which opens an opportunity to make some interactions available through this means directly instead of relying e.g. the touchscreen events being handled as emulated mouse actions. Touch events could make make some actions more intuitive: selecting, resizing, zooming, dragging, scrolling, slide sorting, gestures, animation paths, animation timing, etc. These additional user interactions have to be defined to be intuitive, consistent across platforms and not being in contradiction to the platform conventions or to related apps. Maybe also the user interface has to be adjusted to more touch-friendly, e.g. by increasing the hit area.
FYI, I'm already investigating this area, in the Impress annotation mode. + me on CC
