I’ve been using aseprite for a few months and I absolutely love it. However, while on a plane I attempted to use the program with a touchpad and it was very difficult. The amount that it zoomed is way, way too intense for such a short distance, and I wanted to figure out how to change the touchpad navigation, but to no avail.
I have two questions:
Is it possible to change the touchpad sensitivity?
and
Is it possible to “remap” the touchpad functions (ex. changing scrolling with two fingers to panning instead of changing brush size)?
If either of these are possible, please tell me how to do so. Thank you!!
Hi @sup3r87, are you on Windows or Linux? This is a known issue for Windows and Linux, but it’s something we’d like to improve in the near future (adding more touch-friendly UI too).
Hi dacap! Bought a Zephyrus duo and the same thing is happening with the touchpad mouse.
I have been using Microsoft Surface 2017 model this far with a great success. Adding a sensitivity option would be great! It’s really useful for me to be able to use aseprite on a big screen but also through remote connection.
The touch controls on the touch display works great! It’s smooth and nice. It’s been working for years and I have to thank for the great work and great time I have had with Aseprite.
When I’m working on this setup I’ll try to post observations here and there.
When I swipe two fingers down (EDIT: On the touchpad) it zooms uncontrollably in. Up wards we zoom out. Quite fast.
From pinch and widen finger gestures won’t do nothing. (EDIT: This controls the brush size) Is there any workaround? Wouldn’t bother to change anything in windows though as everything works on a touch interface on the second screen. (EDIT: I use my surface as a remote workstation).
@wizardsmol Thanks for the tip! This cleared things up a little.
I actually use the touch screen to zoom in and out by pinching and drag it around with two finger press. That has been working great for years. Now when Game Maker is getting updates there is an option to pan with touchpad which works great.
The wizardsmol tip actually activates this functionality (Panning with touchpad) as it replaces the zoom with this function. However now the pinch controls zoom, not the brush size, which is also a great functionality I use mainly when creating some sketches fast. For me the optimal would be “Pinch”: Brush size and “two finger gesture”: panning.
I probably keep this as it was because the panning on the surface is too fast to be controlled while zoomed out. When zoomed in it works great, but the two finger drag on the touch screen works better so I’m currently sticking with that.
Here you can see what happens when I move my fingers on a touchpad to “Pan” around. The increments are far too big.
