touch screen
2 TopicsHas the Edge team forgotten that touch screens exist?
Chromium Edge is completely lacking in touchscreen support and I have seen no mentions of them planning to add any in. Legacy Edge was much better for touch screens. I find it odd, to say the least, that Edge now lacks touch support considering that Microsoft sells tablets. Among the issues: Touching and holding doesn't show the square that indicates a right-click. How long is long enough to trigger a right click? You'll just have to guess and hope. Touching and holding a button on the toolbar has the exact opposite problem. The square appears, but it doesn't disappear after you stop touching the screen. Inability to reorder favorites bar items with touch Inability to reorder extensions on the menu bar with touch You can't select text (with touch) without triggering a right click. It's also different from the rest of Windows, where a single tap selects text. Autofill items have a delete button, but only on hover. You can't easily use a touchscreen to press that button without knowing the location of that button beforehand. Collections lacks touch support (otherwise a great feature) Inability to drag text or images into collections Collections and collection items have a selection box, but only on hover. You can't easily use a touchscreen to press that box without knowing the location of that box beforehand. This is a much less important thing, but there's no rubber-banding effect when scrolling in Collections.5.5KViews11likes10Comments
