How do i disable the Windows 11 Touch (NOT Trackpad) gestures without disabling getting Touchinputs? - touch-event

I have the problem with my Application on windows, that takes Wintouch as input and when i use more then two fingers, windows start to make a dropdown (like pressing win + d) and minimisses the window.
I want to disable this without loosing touch completely.
i thought something like Edge-UI could be this, but i dont fine it on win11.
OS Name Microsoft Windows 11 Home the newest Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
John L.
I tryed to find the edge-UI without any succsess

I found a solution to the problem.
win11 seems to do it all over the settings menu and i found it on:
settings > bluetooth & devices > touch > three- and four finger touch gestures -> disable
This fixed the issue that windows-11 minimises multitouch applications!

Is there a way to get nomachine to better show the caret in terminal?

Host machine: Debian 10 running NoMachine 7.2.3
Settings:
Specified H264
User Hardware Encoding enabled
Use Specific Frame Rate enabled (60FPS)
Use Acceleration enabled
Client: Windows 10 running NoMachine 7.2.3
Both machines have monitors attached.
Using NX protocol for connection.
FullScreen / Scale to Window / Desktop is currently 2560x1440 (reduced from native while testing this issue)
Specific issue:
I do a ton of work in the terminal and when viewing desktop via nomachine, the terminal caret is randomly not visible. The same issue is less noticeable with right click menus and other areas of "visual updates in small screen space." If this were another remote desktop vendor I would try to find the "don't update just regions" setting to force the entire display to update regularly, but I can't find similar settings for nomachine. I have a dedicated gigabit connection between the two machines with no other traffic on that line, so bandwidth is not an issue.
To recreate:
I disabled caret blink (using universal access / accessibility settings) so the caret is a solid block in terminal / vi. If I edit a text file in vi and move up and down, the caret will only update visually every other line or so (verified on the physical screen it is moving correctly). Same if I highlight or insert, etc. You inevitably miss a character or so or lose your place).
I have tried changing speed vs quality slider, resolutions, swapping from h264 to VP8, etc.
I have disabled:
multi-pass display encoding
frame buffering on decoding
client side image post-processing
Nothing seems to change this specific issue. Yes I can make dragging a quarter-screen-sized terminal window smoother, but that doesn't help me follow the caret in vi/vim. Both machines are nicely spec'd (client has 16G / RTX2080, server has 32G / GTX1080)
Is there a way to get nomachine to update all the screen all the time, or at least better refresh small areas like a terminal caret?
(OP): Based on a night of troubleshooting, the issue seemed to be either:
An issue with the Debian install of the nvidia drivers
The server machine is a laptop with a broken main screen (but with an HDMI external monitor plugged in). The Debian X-server may have been confused as to whether it was headless or not and caused issues with nomachine (which tries to detect headless and start a virtual session).
The solution to this exact problem would be to disable the GUI and force a virtual session, per https://www.nomachine.com/AR03P00973 (dummy dongles won't work because the laptop's main display is not a standard plug).
In my specific case, I needed GUI access on the server at times so I couldn't use the above methods, and I could not remedy the problem with Debian, so I wiped the system and installed Ubuntu 20.04, which is more forgiving with graphics drivers and monitors. After setting up the Ubuntu system as similarly as possible to the Debian system and letting the proprietary nvidia drivers auto install, nomachine connected at the same resolution and worked perfectly, without the lag in small screen areas.

Electron enable touch events for a touch screen

I have a Raspberry Pi connected to touchscreen and running an electron app on it through the startx command,
# startx ./electron-app -- --nocursor
the problem that I can't handle the touch events like (touchstart, touchend) and apparently that is because Electron (or chromium) not seeing the screen as a touch screen.
The problem is not that Electron/Blink isn't seeing the touchscreen / native touch events. There are two parts to the problem, as I understand it:
You need to ensure you're receiving touch events in the OS from the touchscreen. I haven't tested with Pi/Linux, so I'm not sure if those handle touch events natively. I know that OSX, for one, requires a third-party driver like [UDPP by Touch-Base.
Once the OS is handling touch events, those are piped through to Blink via the Electron wrapper. However, you need to set the touch-events command-line switch to enable it. My understanding is that that switch is passed through as a Chromium commandline switch.
I found more info on this thread, though not very much, and still haven't gotten things working on my OSX setup. Electron's documentation is very sparse...the touch-events switch isn't even listed in their CLI docs. Hope this helps.

Using Xcode / Interface Builder remotely

I do most of my dev work on a mac book pro but on occasion I connect remotely to my mac mini to do some stuff remotely - usually from a PC. I am using googles chrome remote as this gives me good flexibility.
I am struggling with CTRL-Drag in interface builder. Hooking up events is ok as I can right click etc... But I am trying to add a constraint between two UIViews. Typically I would control drag from one to the other then a constraint menu would appear.
I have been unable to find any way around this that will work remotely where control & drag do not occur. has anyone got any suggestions? Thanks!
Unfortunately CTRL+Drag is not working on remote connection which is a bug of OS X Screen Sharing service. I personally opened a bug for that problem to Apple and it was closed as "Duplicated". So Apple knows the problem for years (this problem exists for at least 6 years AFAIK), but still haven't fixed it.
You can find an alternative workaround on following page:

measureit alternative in firefox?

I used to use an add-on for firefox called measureit. Now its not working because of firefox keeps updating all the time and the developer hasn't come out with a version of measure it that is supported by newer versions of firefox. Does anyone know a good pixel ruler add-on for FF?
You could download the web developer toolbar. It has a ruler built in. Once you install it, it will appear in your menu bars in firefox. Click on miscellaneous, then click on display ruler.
You could also try searching "pixel ruler".
Not a Firefox extension (it's a Windows app), but you can try Ruler. It's a simple too that does what it says. You don't even need to install it, just click and use.
It can stay on top of other windows, you can drag the borders to resize and switch between vertical and horizontal rulers. You can even open multiple instances.
I had the same issue with MeasureIt, it stops working with some Firefox updates. I found Ruler and been happy with it so far.
Since I upgraded Firefox Developer Edition there have been serious incompatibilities with my previous add-ons.
Measureit add-on is one of the extensions that are not up to date with the new browser.
I found this alternative that works just fine though not as good as Measure it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browser-ruler/
If you are on Firefox developer option click on the tools icons > choose to Get more tools > search for 'ruler' and add it.

Macromedia Fireworks 6.0

I understand this is an old technology, but I have been using it forever and own the software so I can't really change. I just installed Fireworks 6.0 on a Windows 7 box and even thought I can use the keyboard to get to my tools I can't actually CLICK any of my tools. It is the strangest thing I have ever seen. Could this be a Windows 7 issue because I've installed this product countless times on Windows XP machines and I can't ever remember this happening....HELP!
The issue with using Fireworks 6 ended up being even more bizarre than I originally thought. On my new laptop running Windows 7 I can not click to anything in my toolbox HOWEVER when I put Fireworks on my second monitor I can click everything in my toolbox. I found this out quite by accident.
I had an issue with old fireworks on windows 7 where it would not save preferences, one of the fixes was to enable compatibility mode and set it to run as administrator, you can do this by right clicking on the fireworks icon.
Hope that helps this problem too.
