    Description

      Hello everybody,

      I'm very new to QT, so please accepte my apologies if I completely misplaced this RFE.

      I had certain success with installing and using manjaro KDE on a X64 tablet. The experience is summed up HERE.

      With manjaro/KDE, the machine is useable in an acceptable manner, but to give it the typical look-and-feel of a tablet, it seriously lacks the "one finger swipe" feature - the ability to move window contents, as we are used with smartphones or (android or iOS) tablets.

      I filed a RFE at KDE , but the fellow there replied that -  if you want it system wide - it needs to be implemented at "QScrollView" - HERE at KDE bug tracker..

      I cannot rate this answer from the technical point of view, I just want to state the user's point of view:

      • Today, few single apps support swipe with one finger, most others don't. We cannot expect millions of apps to integrate one finger swipe support. (It yet did not happen)
      • If it can be implemented within QT, it may be useful to integrate a switch/control to switch it on and off. This switch could as well be linked with the discovery of a touch screen within the system, personally I tend to distrust these automatisms...
      • The missing one finger swipe feature is THE CORE FEATURE which makes the look and feel of a x64 tablet unpleasant at the moment. All other glitches are solveable or acceptable.

      Hope all the above makes some sense to the experts.

      Cheers,

      herrdeh
