Title: [RFE] Add support for touch screens
Post by: darkyellow on January 29, 2018, 14:34:13
Hi

I'd like to request an enhancement to allow getting touch events in a similar way to how android works. There are a lot more 2 in 1 laptops around now and it would be good to utilise the touch functionality available.

I had a quick look a GLFW and it looks like it doesn't support it yet but I could not easily see if it was on their road map or if this could be extracted via other methods

Touch input is currently scheduled for GLFW 3.4 (https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/42)

Thanks, this looks like it won't happen for a long time then as 3.3 has been taking a very long time to release itself (and a while to go yet it seems)
