Respond to Taps on Tablet?

Post by ahketype » 18 Jan 2022, 19:50

Hi,
Does AHK detect taps on the screen of tablets running Windows? I've not got one to test it. Would a hotkey like LButton:: be activated by a tap, for instance?

I am not sure if AHK has native support for finger tapping/swiping events. Though, you may consider installing https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/touchme-gesture-studio/9wzdncrdg0l8#activetab=pivot:overviewtab

With the touchme engine, the tablet can detect all sorts of gesture events. For each gesture, if I recall correctly, you can launch a certain executable.

There are also several posts about touchscreen. They can be found by searching. My recollection is that AHK works with the basic touchscreen click (LButton) but possibly with some modified approaches.
