Bob,
I'm pretty sure my code branch is not working on your Windows 8 system. My
touch Move page does not contain reference to the words "hover" or "alt."
That's the keyboard Move page. I need to put a select touch screen mode link on
the page. On my touch screen page, I use only "LEFT" bindings for translation,
rotation, and conformation rotation.
If you enter the following (with tilde - this forces JavaScript) in my script
field:
~isTouch = true
and then click the Move button, you'll force the touch screen Move screen. The
instructions use no key strokes at all.
From everything I have read, a touch-pause is a hover on iPad and other touch
screens, and that seems to work on my iPad. On your system, I think that small
box you saw is a hover box. I've also read that this approach to hover
(touch-puase) creates a double touch problems. This touch-pause can actually be
used to trigger a style sheet a:hover style change. I think what's happening is
that the touch first triggers a hover event and then it triggers a click event.
Anyway, I'd sure be interested to see what you get with the instructions on the
isTouch = true Move page. On this page, I actually use the instruction
touch-pause-drag.
