> oblique question: if you had a device where you use a mouse to move a visible pointer on screen, and then clicking-and-dragging also resulted in scrolling...would you call that a direct manipulation pointing device" too? that's the scenario i was thinking about when i added the "(direct or indirect)" bit (and as an example: Chrome on desktop with DevTools in mobile emulation mode) Right, good question. I think we'd want to treat such a device exactly as we're saying direct devices should be treated, but I see the argument that it's potentially confusing to call it "direct" (so I think what we're debating here is just terminology, not behavior). The devtools case is maybe misleading because it's definitely aiming to emulate a touch as closely as possible, so from a spec/platform perspective we should think of that exactly like a touch. But maybe a Wii remote or something that has grab-to-scroll behavior. The essential property IMHO is the "pointer movement scrolls" bit. I'm happy to use a better term for devices that have that property if anyone can think of one that's better than "direct manipulation". -- GitHub Notification of comment by RByers Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/202#issuecomment-299565561 using your GitHub account
