TouchRMB

TouchRMB adds Windows-like right click by long tap on a touchscreen in X11 desktop sessions.

It is an independent implementation inspired by the long-tap right-click UX found on Windows tablets. No Microsoft code or assets are included.

Preview

Long-tap animation:

Settings window:

It installs:

• touchrmb - low-overhead resident daemon in C
• touchrmb-settings - GUI for delay, animation, size, border width, and color

Requirements

• Linux
• X11 session
• X11 desktop session such as LXQt or XFCE
• systemd --user
• build tools and headers for: x11, xext, xtst, xi, xrandr, gtk+-3.0

Install

Copy and paste this:

git clone https://github.com/BlackF1re/TouchRMB.git
cd TouchRMB
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

If the system is compatible but missing prerequisites, the installer will stop and print the exact packages to install.

Use

• Settings app: touchrmb-settings
• Config file: ~/.config/touchrmb/config.ini

Notes

• The daemon works with direct-touch evdev devices and prefers CHPN0001:00 when present.
• It is designed for X11 desktop sessions, not for Wayland yet.
