Maybe I'm stating something too obvious that you have already checked but, since I didn't see any mention to this in your code, I will point to it. GTK+ has gestures support: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/Gestures.html Here some examples: https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/Gestures I'm no expert on that but, as stated at: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkGesture.html#GtkGesture.description I would assume that if you would set GDK_TOUCHPAD_GESTURE_MASK on the GdkWindows of your widgets, you will have direct control for the gestures and the context window would only be triggered by a press and hold gesture (?) As said, I'm no expert so maybe this is not so straight forward and/or needs some modifications on WebKitGtk+ in order to work. -- Br, Andres _______________________________________________ webkit-gtk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-gtk
