- Hover/right click
- Clarify any primary button actions
- Hide cursor during touch screen use
- Delayed auto hide of cursor after mouse/trackpad use
- Keyboard shortcut usage
- Need any replacements using extra buttons/gestures?
- Hiding keyboard accelerator hints when booting touch only hardware?
- Right click
- Touch and hold gesture
- Prelight effects are usually for reinforcing possible UI interaction during a cursor movement/hover – for touch should it be to indicate a widget is being held down (say to access a more advanced set of options)?
