[Sugar-devel] long-press touch actions in Sugar

[Sridhar Dhanapalan]

It appears [1] that long-press is becoming part of the Sugar user
experience on touchscreens:

"Touch and hold _should_ trigger full display of palette content (like
a right click, no extra delay)"

I have some reservations [2] about long-press actions. They don't seem
to be very intuitive or discoverable.

How are the Sugar Design Team managing this problem?
