More Information
Summary:A touch input mode may be entered and exited automatically and/or manually. When the touch input mode is entered, user interface (UI) elements are optimized for touch input. When the touch input mode is exited, the user interface (UI) elements are optimized for hardware based input. A user may enter the touch input mode by manually selecting a user interface element and/or by entering touch input. Settings may be configured that specify conditions upon which the touch input mode is entered/exited. For example, the touch input mode may be configured to be automatically entered upon undocking a computing device, receiving touch input when in the hardware based input mode, and the like. Similarly, the touch input mode may be configured to be automatically exited upon docking a computing device, receiving hardware based input when in the touch input mode, and the like.
