Client Touch GesturesΒΆ

The ThinLinc client has support for a number of touch gestures when used on a touch capable monitor. These gestures allow the user to simulate certain mouse operations that would otherwise not be possible.

Note

Touch gestures are not available on macOS as it currently lacks native support for touch capable monitors.
