Hi,

 

I tried to use Guacamole on an Android Tablet on Chrome browser.

However, the 2 proposed mouse emulations doesn't seem to be suited for an usage with a touchscreen :
 * the first clicks on press, but doesn't move the cursor when moving the touch (which is an issue with some applications).
 * the second enables to move the cursor but isn't quite practical as we can't press one element of the screen to click it or move the cursor to it.

 

I therefore suggest to add a 3rd mouse emulation with the following behavior :
 * at anytime move the cursor to the last position of the touch/press.
 * if 2 quick touch/press, assume a double-click.
 * if the touch/press is long enough (e.g. 1s) without significant touch move assume a left-click until the touch is released.
 ** if only touch without moving: click
 ** if touch/press > 1s without moving then moving without releasing the touch: click while moving the cursor (like when doing a drag&drop)
 * if the touch is long enough (e.g. 2s) without significant touch move assume a right-click, instead of a right-click.

 

Cordially,
