tl;dr
does TVPaint have touch support? is it possible to zoom & move on a tablet (Microsoft surface)?

Hey TVPaint, I love you!
It's been my favorite animation software for years now. But like most of you I'm also affected by corona regulations, I can't use my wonderful workstation at school. So I got myself a microsoft surface, because I don't want to be confined in my tiny bedroom and at least work outsides, in cafés n stuff. But the keyboard sometimes gets in the way and I would prefer to use just the screen & touch. I don't own the newest TVPaint yet, but is it useful as a tool for animating on a tablet?
Thanks for your help!

Hello Oscar,
No Surface-specific touch feature is built inside TVPaint. I know for sure that some tablet brands (including Wacom) allow you to bind certain actions/shortcuts to precise gestures done with your fingers on the tablet, but since Surface users are only a small part of the TVP community, we didn't look into building features specific Surface devices.

Hey Dean,
thank you for your answer! I re-read it just now and I was wondering if you meant keystrokes on wacom. Like assigning ctrl+alt+leftclick to a button?
Because what I was talking about was more like touch control on a phone for example. Like: Use two fingers to move the canvas and pinch to zoom. Are there plans to make TVPaint work like that?

I was talking about touch controls, no plans are underway to make TVPaint's computer version to work like that currently

Ah that's sad to hear! It would considerably help the workflow... And I really don't like having to switch to an other software...
