Make long-presses behave better
- Sliders now enter edit mode when double-clicking, not long-pressing – BUG:471473
- Long-press now summons context menus instead of making a right-click – BUG:506042 and BUG:510229
- General settings, Miscellaneous tab now lets you toggle long-pressing on any platform.
None of these are Android-specific.
I don't feel bad about changing the slider behavior like this because it seems like users (including me) only ever activated it accidentally when trying to make small adjustments to a slider. It's also apparently so obscure that not even Dmitry knew the behavior existed.
Some known issues with long-pressing are still present: kinetic scrolling blocks the left-click causing a lot of delay, Android still offers to "Select All" on sliders, some widgets get mildly confused at not receiving a mouse release before the context menu pops up. It fixes a slew of issues already though, so I think it makes sense to merge it in this state instead of letting it build up conflicts just because it hasn't attained Nirvana yet.
Manual MR: documentation/docs-krita-org!368 (merged)
Test Plan
- Press and hold on a slider. Observe that it no longer enters edit mode.
- Double-click on a slider. Observe that it enters edit mode.
- Enable long-press to open context menus in the Miscellaneous tab of the General settings. Long-press on a layer or a brush. Observe that a context menu appears.
- Open the pop-up palette, press and hold on its color wheel. Observe that it doesn't close on you anymore.
- Disable the setting, observe that long-pressing doesn't make a context menu appear.
