            Bug ID: 507820
           Summary: Tablet mode applies to docked monitors
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: plasmashell
      Version First 6.4.80
       Reported In:
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal

  Target Milestone: 1.0

I am testing a tablet mode patch for the Asus ROG Z13. With this patch, when
removing the keyboard of the device, it will emit a tablet mode event from its
WMI hotkeys. The keyboard is removed, because the form factor is better this
way for docked use. Other devices are similar too, such as flip laptops.

When I remove it, my docked monitor turns into touch mode, and increases its
touch targets substantially. But it is not a touchscreen, so this results in a
utility degradation.

To mitigate this, one of either two things could be implemented. 1) only apply
touch mode to touchscreens, which still allows for usability benefits on the
touchscreen or 2) add an option under "Touch mode -> Automatically enable as
needed"  to disable touch mode while docked to an external display
