Draft: gesturestylus: also support regular pointer events (!4641) · Merge requests · GNOME / gtk

hemidark requested to merge hemidark/gtk:gesture-stylus-emulate-stylus into main Apr 16, 2022

As discussed in issue #4148, use cases for GtkGestureStylus (such as drawing apps) require mouse support as well as tablet support. Drawing with a mouse at least some of the time is commonplace.

Absent mouse support in GtkGestureStylus, the only alternative is ugly hacks with GtkGestureDrag or GtkEventControllerLegacy.

This change introduces the boolean property GtkGestureStylus:emulate-stylus which if set to TRUE allows a GtkGestureStylus to recognize regular pointer events in addition to tool events.

(The property default is FALSE, for backwards compatibilty.)
