Insert Tool - limited function on Android

Bug Report
1

On Android devices your finger tap is not recognized while tapping with your spen (or when the pen tip is detected by the screen).

For the insert tool: a message appears as soon as you insert a new object with your pen tip: “Single tap with second finger to switch mode”

As told that’s not possible on Android. Besides not knowing what it does, I assume you will toggle through the options: move, rotate, scale, …

As android device pens all should have at least one button, I would suggest to give the option to toggle via pen button instead of second finger tap.

You can still use multi-touch with the finger then.

Note that with the transform tool, the popup appears even when “snap” is off, but that’s a bug and should only appear when ”snap” is on.

Maybe

Some (noris digital pencils and older wacoms) don’t have a button but an eraser instead so a binding would be better (with default binding=pencil button). multi touch works quite ok though.

Ok - figured it out. You have to enable sculpt via finger (in Gestures - I disabled it to Stylus only, to improve the overall sculpt experience).

You might also consider to add a hint in the pop-up menu? Like: “Single tap with second finger to switch mode. Android: non-Stylus only.” For the other Android Noops like me.

I will hope for the “Maybe” :wink:
