Hi Jonas, That’s a good point. I agree with you that we should only expose this to certified or privileged apps. Thanks and regards, Kershaw 於 2014/9/12 上午1:22,"Jonas Sicking" 寫道: >Hi Kershaw, > >Has there been any discussions with other browser vendors about this >API? Or is there an official

What would be the event types for touchpad events? We must not add yet another types of events to handle pointer type of events. And besides, touch event model is rather horrible, so if we for some strange reason need totally new events, I'd prefer using something closer to pointer events. -Ol

Hi Kershaw, Has there been any discussions with other browser vendors about this API? Or is there an official standard somewhere for them? If not, I don't think that we'll want to expose this to the web at large. It would still be fine to expose to certified apps, or even to expose to privileged

Hi Mounir, The finger activity on touchpad can be still translated to touch event and mouse event as usual. But for the application that wants to know the absolute finger position on touchpad, we will need this new touchpad event. So, this proposal is about creating new standard rather than re-usi

Hi All, Summary: Touchpad(trackpad) is a common feature on laptop computers. Currently, the finger activities on touchpad are translated to touch event and mouse event. However, the coordinates of touch event and mouse event are actually associated to display [1]. For some cases, we need to expose
