Hi touchscreen users,
Around this time tomorrow, you'll be able to use your touchscreen to change
synth settings on the fly. New in 0.4 is synth settings mode, a dedicated
touch mode to change synthesizer settings. The gestures in there mirrors
that of synth settings ring command on the keyboard (Control+NVDA+arrow keys
(add a shift for laptops).
For users: please keep your suggestions and feedback coming - the enhanced
touch gestures add-on is shaped by you, the users and other developers.
For reviewers (especially for Mick): I wrote some hacks to add some custom
touch modes in touch handler at load time. BTW, I think I found a potential
improvement to change touch mode script in global commands: since we have a
labels dictionary in touch handler, I'd like to suggest using labels
dictionary instead of just querying available touch modes list. In case some
add-ons may wish to add custom touch modes (Jamie once told me he might do
something with touch modes or remove them entirely), it might be beneficial
to let add-ons register additional touch modes and their user visible
labels. If you want me to raise a ticket for it, then sure, I'll do it.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Joseph

This touch mode, available in browse mode, allows you to navigate the
document by selected element. To switch to web mode, from browse mode
documents, perform 3 finger tap. From this mode, flicking up or down with
one finger cycles through available element navigation modes, while flicking
right or left with one finger moves to next or previous chosen element,
respectively. Once you move away from browse mode documents, object touch
mode is used.

ring commands on the keyboard.
