Enable SelectionArea double tap/triple tap gesture support for mobile platforms #149295

Renzo-Olivares · 2024-05-30T03:35:21Z

This change enables double tap / triple tap support in SelectionArea for mobile platforms:
Android / Fuchsia:

On native, these platforms allow for double tap / double tap + drag to select word-by-word.
On web using touch, these platforms only support double tap to select word.
On web and native using a mouse, these platforms support double click / double click + drag to select word-by-word, and triple click / triple click + drag to select paragraph-by-paragraph.

iOS:

On native, these platforms allow for double tap / double tap + drag to select word-by-word.
On web using touch, these platforms do not support double tap/triple tap gestures.
On web using touch, these platforms allow support double tap + drag gestures.
On web and native using a mouse, these platforms support double click / double click + drag to select word-by-word, and triple click / triple click + drag to select paragraph-by-paragraph.

Part of: #129583

+        // From observation, these platforms reset their tap count to 0 when
+        // the number of consecutive taps exceeds the max consecutive tap supported.
+        // For example on Debian Linux with GTK, when going past a triple click,


but linux is not in this switch case, it is fuchsia instead.

+      case TargetPlatform.iOS:
+        _gestureRecognizers[TapAndHorizontalDragGestureRecognizer] = GestureRecognizerFactoryWithHandlers<TapAndHorizontalDragGestureRecognizer>(


Can you add some comment on why we use tap and horizontal drag here? also is fuchsia meant to be here?

Within TextSelectionGestureDetector we default to grouping fuchsia with Android if the behavior is unknown.

I reverted to using TapAndPanGestureRecognizer like desktop for now. The reason I was using TapAndHorizontalDragGestureRecognizer is because of the recognizer usage in TextField, but I don't think the same assumptions are valid here.

      renderSelectionSpy.events.clear();

-      await gesture.moveTo(const Offset(200.0, 100.0));
+      await gesture.moveTo(const Offset(100.0, 200.0));


why this change?

This was because I was using TapAndHorizontalDragGestureRecognizer so I needed a horizontal move to win the arena, but I have since changed it to TapAndPan so this change is reverted.

+    },
+      variant: TargetPlatformVariant.mobile(),
+      skip: kIsWeb, // [intended] Double tap / double tap + drag gestures are not fully enabled on the web for mobile platforms.


why are they not enabled? are they going to be enabled in the future?

This is the behavior I observed on native platforms (TextView on Android and UITextView on iOS), and while testing on different websites on the web. I'm not against enabling them, what do you think?

I will enable double tap + drag on iOS since that looks like it works on the web, but from my observations a regular double tap does nothing (sometimes zooms in page).

oh I see, In that case I will probably rephrase this to say something like

web does not support double tap + drag gestures.

Sounds good, will do that.
