Grez Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hi, I sometimes play on my laptop, which is a 2-in-1 laptop with a touchscreen that can fold over into a tablet. For the most part FM actually works really well in tablet mode - but there are two main areas that repeatedly cause me issues and it seems like they would be fairly simple to improve: 1) Text boxes The application doesn't currently detect when you're in tablet mode and use the on-screen keyboard for input when you select a text box. At the moment my workaround is to play in windowed mode so that I can see the taskbar, and leave the on-screen keyboard shortcut permanently enabled on the taskbar so that I can activate it when needed - but this is far from ideal. Plenty of applications (for example this browser) manage this detection flawlessly, so clearly it's possible. 2) Scrolling through lists With a mouse you spin the mousewheel to navigate a list. On a touchpad you can use two-finger gestures (or whatever gesture you have set up) to navigate a list. On a touchscreen laptop you would expect to use gestures in the same way that you would with a touchpad, but it does not work. I guess when you gesture with a touchscreen it generates a different kind of event to a touchpad, and this is not being handled by FM. Technically FM does have the little scroll bars that you can click/slide, but they're tiny and very easy to misclick - if you're scrolling through a list of 1000 players in the player search screen it's very hard to be precise about where you scroll to - they're quite a poor experience. These two small fixes would make a huge improvement to the experience of playing with a touchscreen laptop. Tested using: ASUS Zenbook Flip / Windows 11 Cheers, Grez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Zachary Whyte Posted February 17, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 17, 2023 Thank you for the detailed suggestions. This will be put under consideration from the developers and could feature in a future FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
