Public bug reported:

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist convertible ultrabook (Intel Core i7).
The tablet mode (touchscreen-only operation, keyboard folded away) get
continuously working better.

One important missing feature is an easy-to-do right click. The right-
click emulation button in Onboard is a rather awkward solution, as
Onboard only shows up when selecting a text input field.

I suggest to emulate the right-click by a long press on the screen. It
is done in Android this way, too, and works very well for me.

Note that the long-press right-click functionality in "Universal Access"
in the Control Center only works with a mouse and not with the touch
screen (another bug).

I am using Saucy 64-bit and the standard Unity desktop.
