Please support my request: Keep the touch radial menu open after release (for one handed use)

I've always struggled with using tablets, especially using a surface pen. The two finger stuff is ok on big screens, but still a bit awkward, and really not great on something like a surface. I'd rather use a pen one handed. Unfortunately disabling touch gestures for the pen results in lagging and all kinds of annoying behavior so the midi editor is near useless.

Using the touch controls with pen would actually be fine if the menu would stay open after releasing the hold. Then you could click the item you want, drag the note handles to change duration and all that stuff. And to close the menu, simply clicking anywhere else on the interface could close it. It would effectively act like a right-click menu. I don't know why I didn't think of this before but this would make pen use much better, and maybe many people would prefer that for regular touch as well.

I've sent the request to Bitwig. If you agree with this please send in your requests as well.

Thanks!

Good luck, fingers crossed they'll at least consider your request!

I've sent them this almost 18 months ago and it still isn't fixed :(

I sent them a link to that same video. That issue was well described there. They acknowledged it at the time. It’s such an easily reproducible bug, sad to see it hasn’t been addressed.

Was it your video?

Aha! Didn't see your location. Spent a month in Krakow last year, hope to go back some time!

By the way, Bitwig support did ask me to leave the video up so they seemed to think it was mine. ;)

If that makes it more likely the problem will get fixed then I don't mind :hihi:
