Long press can be right click!
- thaumasiotes 4y agoI have a puzzles app on my phone[1] that does just what you describe. It's awful; I will always tap repeatedly instead of long-pressing. Long-pressing is a gigantic usability failure. That app also implements the solution here, of having a toggle that swaps the effect of press and long-press. I use that... sometimes. Rarely. But more often than I attempt to long-press. Cell phones have a bad UI paradigm and therefore using software on a cell phone is generally more painful and annoying than using software on a computer. But that's not a reason to force painful, annoying UI into the computer too.
