SDL_HINT_TRACKPAD_IS_TOUCH_ONLY - A variable controlling whether trackpads should be treated as touch
Contents
Availability
This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
Simple Directmedia Layer SDL 3.2.20 SDL_HINT_TRACKPAD_IS_TOUCH_ONLY(3)
Description
On macOS (and possibly other platforms in the future), SDL will report touches on a trackpad as mouse
input, which is generally what users expect from this device; however, these are often actually full
multitouch-capable touch devices, so it might be preferable to some apps to treat them as such.
The variable can be set to the following values:
• "0": Trackpad will send mouse events. (default)
• "1": Trackpad will send touch events.
This hint should be set before SDL is initialized.
