Termux does generate button-release escape sequences, as shown by vttest 11 8 5, then 4 or 7. For instance: <27> [ M <32> X B <27> [ M # X B But it seems that ncurses 6.6 does not handle it correctly. Could you tweak xterm to be able to support long press as an event, for instance? I mean, for instance, a long press would trigger a menu in Xterm instead of being sent to the application running in the terminal, i.e. no escape sequences should be generated. This means that the button-press escape sequence must be sent just before the button-release escape sequence (instead of when the button was pressed). That would better emulate touchscreen, and the Termux terminal in particular. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
