I have a touchscreen Windows 8 machine that I got specifically for this
purpose. There are issues, primarily in that sometimes it starts firing
BOTH mouse and touch events, resulting in an apparent double click. There
must be a way around that, but I haven't figured it out yet. See below.

mouse operation is a bit slow - I don't fully understand why, unless you
are doing some serious background processing for some reason. But the touch
interface drag fails to do anything more than a slight motion of the
structure.

I have no idea what a "hover" would be with a touch.
Regular drag seems stifled. Alt-drag does a z-axis rotation.
Ah, if I touch and hold until a 1x1cm box appears briefly, then that starts
a standard drag.

nothing happens with CTRL-drag.
Any help on this is appreciated.

If you go into core.z.js and find
//// org\jmol\awtjs2d\Mouse.js
you can add alert() or System.out.println()or
document.title statements that will allow you to do some
tracking of what is going to the mouse.
