[Bug 1212736] Re: Touch screen: Right click should be emulated by long press, like under Android

[Till Kamppeter]

Also note that the right-click emulation of Universal Access only
reveals the right-click menu after releasing the button, whereas under
Android or Windows 8 the menu already pops up while long pressing. The
latter gives the user the feedback that he has pressed long enough, and
as it is also established as "standard" (two other operating systems use
it) we should do it this way.

** Summary changed:

- Touch screen: Right click should be emulated by long press, like under Android
+ Touch screen: Right click should be emulated by long press, like under Windows 8 and Android

** Description changed:

  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist convertible ultrabook (Intel Core i7).
- The tablet mode (touchscreen-only operation, keyboard folded away) get
+ The tablet mode (touchscreen-only operation, keyboard folded away) gets
  continuously working better.
  
  One important missing feature is an easy-to-do right click. The right-
  click emulation button in Onboard is a rather awkward solution, as
  Onboard only shows up when selecting a text input field.
  
  I suggest to emulate the right-click by a long press on the screen. It
  is done in Android this way, too, and works very well for me.
  
  Note that the long-press right-click functionality in "Universal Access"
  in the Control Center only works with a mouse and not with the touch
  screen (another bug).
  
  I am using Saucy 64-bit and the standard Unity desktop.
