The "Three-Finger Pinch-In" gesture is too sensitive.

Open EugeneTarasenko opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

The "Three-Finger Pinch-In" gesture is way too sensitive. It's hardly usable. Performing some 4 finger gestures or resting 3 or 4 fingers on the trackpad can easily trigger the "Three-Finger Pinch-In" gesture without my intention to do it. It didn't happen on the original JItouch version 2.74. Is there any way to fix it?

I haven't really observed this. What trackpad model are you using?

The thresholds for "Three-Finger Pinch-In" and -Out are affected by charRegIndexRingDistance, the index-ring distance set in the characters panel. How do you have that set?

It has a default value. Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity of this gesture only? Can I use a command-line tool to do it by adjusting charRegIndexRingDistance ?

In that case, the threshold should be about the same as it was in previous versions. Can you try increasing the distance anyway and see if that solves your problem?

Also, what model of trackpad are you using?

The one installed in MacBook Pro 13" 2015. Reducing the sensitivity via the sensitivity slider helps to solve the issue but it makes some other gestures, "One-Fix Right-Tap" in particular, unresponsive. Screenshot 2023-04-25 at 09 21 30

That's weird. I have my distance set where "One-Fix Right-Tap" is usable and the Three-finger pinch gestures are far enough to be somewhat awkward to reach.

I just checked the code again and the default index-ring distance of 0.33 * 0.455 here is almost exactly the original threshold of 0.15 here.

The gesture also shouldn't happen with four-finger gestures. Are you seeing that as well?

four-finger gestures work fine
