Has 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.Are there plans to enable touch screen compatibility in the Windows version of Chromium Edge?
Are there plans to enable touch screen compatibility in the Windows version of Chromium Edge? Specifically: Fix press-and-hold right-click bugs Pressing and holding in page content doesn't currently trigger the square to indicate when a right-click has been activated Pressing and holding in the toolbar triggers the square to indicate a right-click, but it doesn't go away Ability to reorder toolbar items (favorites and extensions) with touch Ability to drag text (into a new tab, into text boxes, or into Collections) with touch Modify controls that appear only on hover (e.g. selection tool in Collections and delete button on autofill items) so that they appear all the time so they can be selected with touch (a workaround for the Collections issue to make a "select" button to show the select buttons) Fix text selection behavior to match that of the Windows system and other Windows apps (where tapping a word only once will select it, instead of the current behavior where you have to press and hold and it also shows the right-click menu) for consistency and improved user experience Classic Edge was great for touch screens, and it's a shame to see that there has been no improvement whatsoever in this area for Chromium Edge.
