Add Mouse/Touch-optimized UI switcher with auto mode in Preferences

Post by Loki@99 »

Hi,

It's a suggestion for PDFXCE.

Feature description
- Add Mouse/Touch-optimized UI switcher in the new Touch Support feature in Preferences > General
- In this feature, add an auto option which will detect tablet mode and automatically enable Touch-optimized UI

Something like this

Why ?
While PDFXCE touch experience is improved over updates, the current location of Touch-optimized UI feature (in Quick Launch) isn't really intuitive for new users (as one user reported before)

Additional info
The auto switch from mouse to touch-optimized UI is available in Microsoft Word
Simply plug and unplug a 2-in-1 device keyboard and you'll notice it

Thanks for improving,
