Multi-touch

Allow multi-touch interactions

Lets you adapt the user interface when using devices allowing multi-touch interactions. This option also activates the display of the Touch section in the action bar.

A touch is an atomic structure, generally consisting of an identifier, a 2D position and time information that can be retrieved from the operating system or from the device driver as soon as a finger or a stylus is in physical contact with the sensitive device, or in its vicinity, depending on the device physical capabilities.

The user interface is adapted for multi-touch devices which let you naturally interact with applications using your fingers or a stylus, instead of a 2D mouse. For instance, the default size and appearance of interface elements is modified to make interactions as comfortable as possible.

By default, this option is cleared.
