Turn on the flashlight by double-clicking the backlight. How to turn off?

Hi, I don't know since when, but I noticed that when you double-click the backlight in F7PS, the flashlight turns on, but you can't control the brightness. Can this be turned off somehow? I didn't find such an option in the keyboard shortcuts.

Unfortunately the double click flashlight function cannot be removed. If you are concerned about accidentally lighting the flashlight, I would recommend using the device Lock function. When you have the…

What I mean is to completely disable this feature. I know how to turn off the flashlight by double-clicking ;)

Please add the option to choose a different "hotkey" for the flashlight! (and choose not to have it on double tap the light button) It's no downside for the people who still want to use it but having it…

I don't understand the obsese with 3rd party watchface.

The problem is that double click "gesture" can't be turned off.

Same. I frequently - multiple times per day - check the time and in order to do that in a dim environment i briefly turn on the light. This causes the watch to engage the flashlight. I have tried hard over two weeks to slow down my "on/off" gesture but didn't succeed. I have to consciously make an effort to prevent the "flashlight" (which is not very useful at that brightness anyway) from turning on.

PLEASE make this configurable. I'd like to be able to completely disable this feature. Else, please offer a rollback to a previous firmware that does not have this UX flaw.

Wasn't this fixed on the 19.34 Firmware Update?

oh? Great to hear!. Where can I switch this feature off then? I must have overlooked it.

No, no new setting. I thought the latest firmware fixed the longer double click delay when using a 3rd party watchface. But if you are in 19.34 (or above) and still have the issue this seems to be not true.

There should be configurable gesture like for many other features like wallet or music control.

Upping this desire. I want to see the watchface with the blacklist and then the flashlight sometimes turns on if I do it too quickly. I'd also like to turn this feature off or use a different hot key.
