Multi-touch support

Last published : Oct 08, 2026
The multi-touch support feature supports multi-touch devices. This feature allows devices to receive input from the touch screen. The input includes touch gestures and interactions using a pen or a stylus device. You can interact with multi-touch screens while using apps or desktops in an HDX session. The supported actions and corresponding gestures on the touch screen are the following:
  • Select an item: Tap on the touchpad.
  • Scroll: Place two fingers on the touchpad and slide horizontally or vertically.
  • Zoom in or out: Place two fingers on the touchpad and pinch in or stretch out.
  • Show more commands (similar to right-clicking): Tap the touchpad with two fingers, or press in the lower-right corner.
Known limitation:
  • Doesn’t support session reliability, which means no touch event cache is stored.
  • Doesn’t support on Linux VDA
