01:57 <Kabouik_> On a touch device, and using Phoc as compositor, selecting text in foot doesn't work, even when holding shift. It's as if foot wouldn't get any touch input actually (TUI apps with mouse support like cmus don't react to touch). Yet I use the same config as on my computer, where it works. Any suggestions as to where to start troubleshooting? Touch input works in all other programs including another terminal emulator.

02:02 <rrogalski> kabouik, that other term emulator is running in wayland right??

02:04 <Kabouik_> I believe so yes, Phoc/Phosh are using Wayland and it is the default terminal shipped with the system. How can I check?

02:07 <Arnavion> It's not really a mustery that you need to "troubleshot". foot just doesn't support touch events

02:08 <Arnavion> There's an open issue about it

02:09 <Arnavion> https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/517

02:11 <Kabouik_> Thanks! I didn't think it would differentiate touch and mouse inputs so I didn't find that issue.

02:12 <Arnavion> They're different things at the wayland protocol level, yes

02:14 <Kabouik_> I see, thank you

03:57 <dnkl> Kabouik_: I believe *some* compositor synthesize mouse events from touch events, when the application doesn't support native touch events.

04:08 <Arnavion> Yes, sway does. But it's a sway thing, not a wlroots thing, so it won't help with phoc

06:21 <bapt> dnkl: I don't mind if you throw away my PR and come with a cleaner solution :D

09:58 <dnkl> bapt: I managed to spend a couple of day job minutes on this, and will open an MR later. It's very similar to your MR, just with a slightly different approach to how you configure the utmp backend in meson.

09:58 <bapt> great

20:22 <Kabouik_> Interesting dnkl. I actually launch Sway within Phoc/Phosh, as a separate nested window (with all Sway workspaces in that Sway window), so I tried if mouse emulation from touch would work. It doesn't, because I suspect it's still limited by being a Phosh window before running Sway.
