Touch screen support
Anyone willing and able to add touch screen functionality to IDEA?
As silly as it sounds, with windows 10 and my touch screen I am finding my productivity accelerating quite rapidly. The only snag i hit is when i switch to intellij and start trying to scroll with my thumb (which assumes I am trying to select text with the mouse -- not the behavior I am looking for from a touch scroll gesture).
I realize that to be a fully touch-capable IDE would require significant UI look and feel changes, but at least some basics (e.g. touch scroll of code views) would be incredibly nice.

I am trying out switching to Visual Studio Code for much coding for this very reason. If I'm working mobile (which is most of the time), it has become second nature to reach up and flick the screen to scroll. VS Code supports x and y axis scrolling perfectly. Can Webstorm/PhpStorm implement this too?

With 2-in1's growing exponentially over the last 3 years....How is this not implemented on Idea?
I am finding that when I touch the screen regardless if it's Rider, WebStorm or PHPStorm, the UI will freeze and the only way to recover is to use task manager and kill the process. Anyone else having this issue?
Jake,
I filed a new issue to investigate this problem: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-220679
Could you please attach complete logs folder in a comment? If you are not familiar with YouTrack, see https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241135-How-to-follow-YouTrack-issues-and-receive-notifications
It's 2020 and we still can't scroll with a touch screen. Sigh.
Hi Barry,
Since IDEA-95774 was already fixed, could you please file a new issue and describe your environment (which hardware and IDE build do you use)? Thank you!
