There's a Dolphin patch that shows how to add rudimentary touch scrolling to a Qt scrollview: https://phabricator.kde.org/D12162

Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2019-04-16 07:53:39 UTC

Isn't that something Qt should provide upstream? Starting in Windows 8 you can do a two-finger drag on scrollable areas and I expect Qt to support that, too, so that infrastructure should be leverageable for our usecase?

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2019-04-16 13:56:19 UTC

Well, a two-finger drag on a scrollable area is not what people expect these days. One-finger scroll is the norm, and it seems like that can't be easily bolted on to existing scrollviews easily without potentially conflicting with existing click-and-drag behaviors on scrollable views. I guess Qt could provide some kind of same fallback behavior, but I suspect that QtWidgets apps will always need custom client code to handle it.
