Input and Gestures

Input and gestures

Cursor mode

Touch movement controls an on-screen pointer. Tap performs a primary click. Scrolling and configured multi-finger actions are translated into input on the virtual display.

Direct-touch mode

Touch coordinates are mapped directly to the virtual display. Experimental multi-touch can forward multiple pointers, but behavior varies between apps and devices.

Configurable gestures

• Three-finger edge swipe: opens the operation overlay.
• Three-finger tap: operation overlay, orientation toggle, stop, or configured action.
• Two-finger tap: right click, operation overlay, or configured action.
• Long press: drag, right click, operation overlay, or configured action.

Operation overlay

The overlay provides cursor/tap mode, volume, brightness, resolution, orientation, application launching, workspace controls, Android-mode restoration, and session stop actions.

Physical mouse and keyboard

Physical input support is limited.

• A mouse supports basic movement, click, hover, and scrolling where the device exposes usable events.
• Extra buttons, relative input, capture, and OEM-specific devices may not behave correctly.
• Basic keyboard input is handled by Android.
• Keyboard shortcuts, IME placement, and routing to a secondary display depend on the OEM desktop implementation.
