My savior!

Not that it was a big deal, but when I started using my Surface with HL, I really liked the idea of a touch interface, as the pen allows for very precise work. However I quickly purchased an ARC mouse (which may not be the best mouse ever, is certainly the most usable portable mouse ever) and now its a combo of touch and mouse work.

Well, to be clear, it probably does, however since this is an "onHover" event, on a touch screen you really don't have a mouse "hover" so a touch event triggers the "onHover" event but any other gesture is akin to moving the mouse away, killing the "onhover" event.


Maybe add a right-click event (should be a long press on touch screen) that opens the text in a modal dialog with scroll window. This would also let us highlight and copy the text if needed (on touch or non-touch screens) as a bonus.

Hover tool tips are nice but some of these tool tips are long and have a lot of info to read and deserve something a little more than a tool tip pop-up.

FYI: While you look at this, you could you look into testing for virtual keyboards in text boxes because it's a PITA to constantly click the damage box, click keyboard icon in windows, then press number pad, then enter damage, return... It's not automatic if you don't have a physical keyboard attached (but I know in Java you can test for it and assume you can as well?). Bonus points if you can just pop up a number keypad where needed.

PS if you need a beta tester for Windows + touch events let me know.
