This should prevent some fat-fingering.
Some users may prefer no action to be taken rather than a unintended one.

This isn't feasible to do, sorry. We can't protect the user from themselves here in a way that wouldn't disrupt other normal uses of apps and games.

It can't be done like that touchpad setting that also affects games?
